Small Bowel Obstruction as an Initial Presentation of Mesenteric Follicular Lymphoma: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Follicular lymphoma is the second most common type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is known as one of the indolent lymphomas. Although some cases presenting with abdominal masses with or without symptoms have been reported, generally, primary extranodal follicular lymphoma is uncommon. Moreover, small bowel obstruction (SBO) as an initial presentation is extremely uncommon. We encountered a unique case of mesenteric follicular lymphoma that presented with SBO as the initial clinical presentation. A 61-year-old male presented with a three-day history of abdominal pain and recurrent vomiting. Abdominopelvic computed tomography revealed air-fluid levels in multiple small bowel loops, with a transition point associated with a mass-like mesenteric abnormality. The small bowel was resected, and a wedge resection was performed to relieve the obstruction and make a diagnosis. Histopathology and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of follicular B-cell lymphoma. Mesenteric lymphomas are less likely to present with SBO as the initial clinical presentation due to their extraluminal location. According to the literature review on the types of lymphomas that cause SBO, follicular lymphoma accounted for only 4.9% of lymphoma cases with SBO due to its indolent course.
