Primary central nervous system lymphoma.
Review in Blood, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 149 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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 central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal lymphomatous malignancy that affects the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges, or vitreoretinal space, without evidence of systemic involvement. The diagnosis of PCNSL requires a high level of suspicion because clinical presentation varies depending upon involved structures. Initiation of treatment is time sensitive for optimal neurologic recovery and disease control. In general, the prognosis of PCNSL has improved significantly over the past few decades, largely as a result of the introduction and widespread use of high-dose methotrexate (MTX) chemotherapy, which is considered the backbone of first-line polychemotherapy treatment. Upon completion of MTX-based treatment, a consolidation strategy is often required to prolong duration of response. Consolidation can consist of radiation, maintenance therapy, nonmyeloablative chemotherapy, or myeloablative treatment followed by autologous stem cell transplant. Unfortunately, even with consolidation, relapse is common, and 5-year survival rates stand at only 30% to 40%. Novel insights into the pathophysiology of PCNSL have identified key mechanisms in tumor pathogenesis, including activation of the B-cell receptor pathway, immune evasion, and a suppressed tumor immune microenvironment. These insights have led to the identification of novel small molecules targeting these aberrant pathways. The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib and immunomodulatory drugs (lenalidomide or pomalidomide) have shown promising clinical response rates for relapsed/refractory PCNSL and are increasingly used for the treatment of recurrent disease. This review provides a discussion of the clinical presentation of PCNSL, the approach to work-up and staging, and an overview of recent advancements in the understanding of the pathophysiology and current treatment strategies for immunocompetent patients.
