Mediastinal Lymphoma Presenting in Cardiogenic Shock with Superior Vena Cava Syndrome in a Primigravida at Full Term: Salvage Resection after Prolonged Extracorporeal Life Support.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that typically has a good response rate to first line chemotherapy regimens. There have been reports of successful chemotherapy, but with a residual mass from fibrosis. Here, we report the case of a 19-year-old primigravida presenting with cardiogenic shock and superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome at full term who was found to have a PMBCL. Following delivery via urgent cesarean section, she was put on veno-arterial extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and once hemodynamically stable was started on chemotherapy. In view of limited change in tumor size on consecutive CT scans and questionable response to chemotherapy, there were multidisciplinary meetings wherein withdrawing support was discussed and put forward to the family. At that point, surgical debulking was offered on compassionate grounds to be able to wean her off the VA-ECMO. This case report highlights the role of salvage resection when there are no other options.
