Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma of the Colon in an Asymptomatic Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Extranodal lymphomas of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are known entities, but primary lymphoma of the colon is extremely rare. Symptoms are non-specific, such as abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, unintentional weight loss, night sweats, and changes in bowel habits. Some patients do not have any specific symptoms, which makes diagnosis extremely difficult. We present a 69-year-old asymptomatic male who was incidentally found to have an inflammatory mass in the descending colon on screening colonoscopy; the initial biopsy was inconclusive. However, due to high suspicion of any underlying malignancy, a repeat colonoscopy with biopsy was done, which revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Prompt and early diagnosis is extremely crucial for timely management. Management includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.
