Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma with diffuse ground glass lesion on chest computed tomography diagnosed using transbronchial lung cryobiopsy: a case report.
Article in Translational cancer research, 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
A 68-year-old man was presented with high fever of unknown origin for 3 weeks and non-productive cough for 1 week. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple nodules and ground glass opacities (GGO) in both lungs. The patient was initially diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis based on the result of bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF). After treatment with methylprednisolone for 2 weeks, the patient's fever recurred, with no resolution of lesions on chest CT. The patient consented to positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. It showed that fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) metabolism was significantly increased in the spleen, whole skeleton, and both lungs, suggesting a malignant hematological disease. Large B-cell lymphoma was diagnosed by bone marrow puncture and flow cytometry. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy was performed to evaluate the diffuse lung lesion. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining showed diffuse infiltration of heterotypic cells in the pulmonary interstitial capillaries. Furthermore, immunohistochemical examination results suggested lung infiltration of B lymphohematopoietic system tumors. The patient was finally diagnosed as intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL). IVLBCL with diffuse lung ground glass lesions is very rare and difficult to diagnose. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, as an emerging procedure, plays an important role in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease and has gained popularity for a lower complication rate and acquisition of more tissue samples.
