Castleman's Disease and Anticonvulsant Therapy: A Case of 52-Year-Old Female.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Castleman's disease is a disorder of the lymph nodes that encompasses heterogeneous clinical conditions and can be classified into two main types - hyaline vascular and plasma cell. The affected age group ranges widely from two to 80 years old at the time of diagnosis, with a variable clinical presentation. The etiology of Castleman's disease is not yet well-understood; however, a number of factors have been linked to its pathogenesis including certain cytokines, viral infections, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, chronic inflammation, and Kaposi sarcoma. In this study, we present a case of a 52-year-old Saudi female with a history of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis, who was then found to have mild splenomegaly, mediastinal, bilateral hilar, supraclavicular, paraaortic, and right axillary lymphadenopathy on CT scan, to be later diagnosed as a multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). Moreover, the clinical picture, pathogenesis, clinical and histological variants, as well as the treatment options of MCD are discussed.
