Multicentric Plasma-Cell Type Castleman Disease Masquerading As Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of laboratory physicians, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Castleman disease (CD), or angiofollicular hyperplasia, or giant lymph node hyperplasia, is a heterogeneous benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. It has three distinct histologic subtypes (hyaline vascular, plasma cell, and mixed hyaline vascular plasma cell types) as well as unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) variants. In the unicentric form, the disease is confined to one anatomical lymph node and usually with no systemic symptoms. However, in the multicentric form (further subdivided into idiopathic MCD, human herpes virus-8-associated MCD, and POEMS-associated MCD), lymphadenopathy is more generalized with more aggressive systemic symptoms mimicking a malignant lymphoma. Therefore, this case report aims to underscore the importance of immunohistochemical evaluation as an indispensable ancillary technique to routine histopathological examination of a lymph node biopsy specimen, as a gold standard for definitive diagnosis of proliferative lymph node lesions.
