Treatment of multicentric Castleman disease through combination of tocilizumab, lenalidomide and glucocorticoids: Case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. 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
rationaleCastleman's disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disease. Compared to unicentric CD, multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) displays poorer prognosis and great variance to different therapies. Though chemotherapy, immunization therapy, and glucocorticoids have been used in the treatment of MCD, its optimal treatment is still controversial. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old woman was admitted due to poor appetite, general fatigue, puffiness of face, systemic rash, and abdominal distension. On physical examination, the patient displayed as general lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and shifting dullness. DIAGNOSES: After biopsy of her swollen lymph node and laboratory tests, her initial diagnosis was hyaline vascular-CD.
interventionsShe was treated with combination of tocilizumab, lenalidomide, and glucocorticoids. OUTCOMES: This patient achieved complete remission (CR) with all her indexes returned to be normal. Her blood routines and biochemical examinations were still normal during the following period. LESSONS: We reported a case with multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) which acquired quite good remission after combination treatment with tocilizumab, lenalidomide, and glucocorticoids. Our report provided powerful evidence for displaying the efficiency and safety of target therapy against unicentric Castleman disease.
