External-Beam Radiotherapy Alone Management of Primary CNS Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma: A Vietnamese Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Journal of blood medicine, 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
backgroundPrimary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is an uncommon non-Hodgkin disease limited to the CNS, and most cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Other pathologies, including lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), are exceedingly rare and poorly understood. The clinical presentation of primary CNS LPL is diverse. It depends on the original site and the tumor's extension. There is currently no consensus on a treatment strategy for this uncommon manifestation. To our knowledge, no previously published case was successfully treated with radiation therapy alone. CASE PRESENTATION: We present here a case of primary CNS LPL. A 46-year-old, previously healthy woman was presented with a worsening headache and lower extremity numbness. Multifocal enhanced masses were detected in an MRI with biopsy results consistent with LPL. A complete staging workup was performed with no evidence of systemic disease. The patient received external-beam radiotherapy alone and had a complete remission. After 2 years of follow-up, she remains disease-free.
conclusionRadiation alone is a promising treatment option for primary CNS lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
