Primary CNS lymphoma initially diagnosed as vasculitis.

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
purpose of reviewA vasculitic pattern of injury seen on brain biopsy can be attributed to a multitude of primary or secondary disorders, leading to diagnostic challenges for clinicians. RECENT
findingsThis report describes the clinical presentation and histopathologic findings in 2 patients who initially received a diagnosis of primary CNS vasculitis, but did not show long-term response to treatment. In both cases, a second biopsy was performed, and the final diagnosis was primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). SUMMARY: Analyzing diagnostically challenging cases can increase recognition of PCNSL and improve outcomes in this rare condition.
