Use of Brentuximab Vedotin in a Non-HIV Patient with Primary Effusion Lymphoma.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2021. 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
Primary effusion lymphoma is a rare and aggressive large B-cell lymphoma presenting as malignant effusion with poor prognosis. Although it is more prevalent among HIV patients, it has also been described in non-HIV immunocompromised individuals. Given its rarity, there are no large randomized trials regarding the best therapeutic option. The choice of therapy is based on retrospective studies, case reports and preclinical data. We present the case of a non-HIV patient with relapsed disease after treatment with CHOP who was then successfully treated with brentuximab vedotin, achieving complete remission. LEARNING POINTS: Primary effusion lymphoma is a rare entity in non-HIV patients, so there are no clinical trials regarding therapeutic options or management decisions.Targeted therapy with brentuximab vedotin has been used in other CD30 positive malignancies and in HIV-related primary effusion lymphoma with good outcomes.We present the case of a non-HIV patient with primary effusion lymphoma who was successfully treated with brentuximab vedotin, which highlights the potential role of a new therapeutic approach in this subgroup of patients.
