Systemic Abscopal Effect of Low-dose Radiotherapy (2 Gy ×2) against Palatine Tonsil Follicular Lymphoma.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 52-year-old man presented with palatine tonsillar swelling caused by follicular lymphoma. His tumor burden was low, but exacerbation of snoring and dysphagia was observed. Considering the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, he received palliative 4-Gy irradiation to the tonsils in 2 fractions, which induced partial regression of tonsillar swellings and eradication of the circulating lymphoma cells. We suggest that low-dose radiotherapy triggered an abscopal effect of lymphoma, which allowed the patient time to receive COVID-19 vaccination before starting immunosuppressive chemo-immunotherapy.
