Extranodal Involvement of the Anorectal Region in an HIV-Positive Patient With Plasmablastic Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PbL) is a rare type of aggressive B-cell malignancy that has an extremely poor prognosis without chemotherapeutic treatment, requiring a high degree of suspicion for an early and accurate diagnosis. It has been classically described in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, it accounts for only 2.6% of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related lymphomas. Extranodal involvement is most commonly seen within the oral cavity (44%). Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract (14%) is rare and can often be confused with other malignancies with plasmablastic features. We present a rare case of PbL in a 55-year-old male with HIV-AIDS (CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) cell count of 128), who presented for evaluation of incidentally detected multiple liver masses and lytic lesions in the ribs. Further workup revealed evidence of a lesion with increased uptake in the anorectal region with fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy identifying the lesion as plasmablastic lymphoma.
