Primary lymphoma of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm: the first case in a pure sensory nerve of the upper limb.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
Primary lymphoma of the peripheral nerve is very rare and occurs most frequently in sciatic nerves. We describe the first patient reported in literature with a primary lymphoma in a pure sensory peripheral nerve of the upper limb. A woman in her 40s, with painful swelling and dysaesthesias in her left forearm in the past 3 months, was presented at our unit. Clinical MRI and ultrasound findings revealed a lesion that showed signs of a peripheral nerve sheath tumour. After complete excision, morpho-pathological evaluation revealed a primary B-cell lymphoma. The patient underwent radiotherapy and at the last follow-up there were no signs of residual pathology. Peripheral neuropathy may be caused by a lymphoma involving the nerve. Hand surgeons have to distinguish primary lymphoma of the peripheral nerves from schwannoma for their different clinical behaviour.
