A Case Report of a Prevertebral Mass in an Elderly Male Post Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by tissue infiltration by dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate composed of T cells, activated B-cells, and plasma cells expressing IgG4 and has varied presentations with similar histopathology. It can involve visceral organs, glands, aorta, lymph nodes, and retroperitoneal tissue. In our case, a 68-year-old male with a past history of Hodgkin's lymphoma and in remission presented for investigation of polyclonal gammopathy. Serum electrophoresis showed increased free kappa light chains, free lambda light chains, and kappa lambda ratio; immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were also increased. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thoracic spine suggested a hypermetabolic prevertebral soft tissue density. Biopsy of the mass suggested IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). He also had a compression fracture of the T7 vertebra. He was started on intravenous methylprednisolone and rituximab, following which he had a significant decrease in the size of the mass along with a decline in the levels of IgG, kappa, and lambda chains.
