Parkinsonism as a late presentation of lymphomatosis cerebri following high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation for primary central nervous system lymphoma.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 central nervous system lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising in the eyes, meninges, spinal cord, or brain. Treatment of primary CNS lymphoma with a combination of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation has been shown to have high rates of remission which is frequently sustained for multiple years. Recurrence of primary CNS lymphoma generally presents with one or multiple contrast enhancing lesions on MRI. In rare cases, lymphoma cells may proliferate diffusely within the brain parenchyma without mass formation, a pattern termed lymphomatosis cerebri. Lymphomatosis cerebri presents a significant diagnostic challenge, and has not been reported to present with parkinsonism. Here, we present a case of initially mass forming, contrast-enhancing primary CNS lymphoma which remitted following chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, and recurred 7 years post-transplant with symptoms of parkinsonism and a lack of typical lesions on imaging, with lymphomatosis cerebri confirmed at autopsy.
