Primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in the midbrain: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundPrimary non-dural central nervous system mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare indolent B-cell lymphoma, with only a few reported cases worldwide. CASE SUMMARY: A 33-year-old man presented with a 5-mo history of left blepharoptosis and a 4-mo history of right limb numbness and weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a significantly enhanced mass in the left midbrain. Subsequent positron emission tomography revealed that the lesion had increased glucose uptake. A stereotactic robotic biopsy supported a diagnosis of MALT lymphoma. Then he was treated with radiation therapy (30Gy/15F), which resulted in complete remission. We also review the literature on brain parenchymal-based MALT lymphoma, including the clinical presentation, treatment options, and outcomes.
conclusionAlthough there is no consensus on the optimal treatment for this rare disease, patients can respond well when treated with radiotherapy alone.
