Gray zone lymphoma effectively treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone, and rituximab chemotherapy: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundB-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (BCLu-DLBCL/cHL), also referred to as gray zone lymphoma (GZL), is known to share features with cHL and DLBCL. However, GZL is often difficult to diagnose. There is no consensus regarding the optimal therapeutic regimen. Most reported cases of GZL have been in Caucasian and Hispanic individuals, and its incidence is lower in African-American and Asian populations, including the Japanese population. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old female presented at our hospital with a growing mass on the right side of her neck. An elastic, soft mass measuring 9 cm × 6 cm was palpable in the right cervical region. Laboratory analyses showed pancytopenia, increased serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, and markedly increased levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/CT revealed multiple lesions throughout her body. She was diagnosed with GZL based on the characteristic pathological findings, the immunophenotype [CD20+, PAX5+, OCT2+/BOB1 (focal+), CD30+, CD15-], and the strong positive expression of neoplastic programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) in her lymphoma cells. The lymphoma was stage IV according to the Lugano classification and high-risk according to the International Prognostic Index for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone, and rituximab (R-CHOP) chemotherapy because the tumor cells were CD20+. She has remained in complete remission for 3 years.
conclusionGZL was diagnosed based on histopathology and immunophenotyping with ancillary PD-L1 positivity. R-CHOP chemotherapy was an effective treatment.
