Intravascular lymphoma presenting with hypoxaemia, platypnoea and lactic acidosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is an aggressive and rare type of diffuse extranodal B-cell lymphoma. Diagnosis and treatment are challenging and clinical presentation is variable. Physicians should be aware of this rare but life-threatening lymphoma without adenopathy and treatment should be promptly started. We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with general malaise, acute dyspnoea, platypnoea and lactic acidosis. Echocardiography revealed an extracardiac shunt, the cause of her orthodeoxia. The patient developed rapid liver failure and underwent liver biopsy. Anatomopathological findings suggested IVLBCL, non-germinal center type. She achieved complete remission after rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, methylprednisolone chemotherapy but relapsed 1 year after initial presentation with multiple organ involvement. The patient's relapsed disease was treated with rituximab, iphosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide and she is still in complete remission 2 years later.
