Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Revealed by Splenic Abscess: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It has no typical or specific clinical features. DLBCL revealed by an abscess is a rare entity. CT is sensitive in detecting splenic abscesses, and it can define the exact location and extent of the abscess as well. The splenic abscess is associated with typhoid fever, AIDS, abdominal infections, pneumonia, bacterial endocarditis, and urogenital infections, parasitic abscesses, organ transplantation, or neoplastic diseases. DLBCL is not usually related to its etiology. Elective open splenectomy, both diagnostic and therapeutic, is the gold standard method of management today and has low morbidity and mortality rates, with even lower rates for laparoscopic splenectomy. The diagnosis of DLBCL is based on the anatomopathological and immunohistological examination. We report a case of a man with a splenic abscess initially treated as an abscess of bacterial origin; however, the lack of improvement in his condition led us to perform a splenectomy, and the anatomopathological study revealed a DLBCL.
