Pulmonary Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma in a Patient Administered Methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 70-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing methotrexate (MTX) treatment presented with dyspnea and a subfever. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a diffuse minimal ground-glass appearance in both lungs and splenomegaly. The gallium scintigram showed a diffuse, mild uptake in both lungs and the spleen. The lung biopsy specimen revealed the presence of CD20-positive atypical lymphocytes in the small pulmonary vessels. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary intravascular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) and exhibited spontaneous regression after MTX was discontinued. This report describes a rare case of MTX-associated lymphoproliferative disorder expressing pulmonary IVLBCL.
