Human herpesvirus 8-negative effusion-based lymphoma with indolent clinical behavior in an elderly patient: A case report and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is usually characterized by lymphomatous effusions in the body cavity without any detectable tumor masses. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) schema for tumor classification, PEL is defined by the presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) in malignant lymphoid cells. However, a subset of effusion-based B-cell lymphoma is not HHV8-positive and exhibits different clinicopathological characteristics. The 2017 WHO Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues does not list HHV8-negative effusion-based lymphoma, which remains an underappreciated B-cell lymphoma, as an individual entity. The present study reports a case of this rare type of lymphoma with indolent clinical behavior in a 75-year-old male patient receiving only symptomatic treatment. Additionally, a review of similar cases reported in the English literature is presented.
