Right Middle Lobe Single Pulmonary Opacity With Air Bronchogram: A Problem-Solving Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is a relatively uncommon subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma consisting of extranodal, nodal, and splenic MZL. Mucosa-associated lymphoma constitutes the majority of extranodal MZL including but not limited to the stomach, lung, salivary gland, ocular adnexa, skin, and thyroid. Depending on the site of origin, maltoma may present with different symptoms. Here we present a patient who presented to the pulmonary clinic for further evaluation of a right middle lobe consolidation. She was treated with a course of antibiotics empirically with no interval change in imaging. She underwent bronchoscopy with biopsy. Pathology was remarkable for extensive lymphoid infiltrates consisting of mixed B and T lymphocytes. Positron emission tomography (PET) CT demonstrated mild uniform uptake in consolidation with no evidence of PET avid distant metastasis. CT-guided biopsy was consistent with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. She underwent right middle lobectomy with no complications. As mentioned in our case, bronchoscopy is usually nondiagnostic and a lung biopsy is needed in pulmonary maltoma. Treatment is based on the tumor location and extent of the disease. Prognosis is good with an 86-95% five-year survival.
