Palliative Radiation Therapy without Chemotherapy for a Patient with Monomorphic Epitheliotropic Intestinal T Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T cell lymphoma (MEITL), which used to be known as type 2 enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma, is a rare lymphoma and is generally treated with chemotherapy. However, the MEITL prognosis is poor, and intestinal lymphoma including MEITL has the risk of bowel perforation not only at presentation but also during chemotherapy. A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with MEITL after presenting in our emergency room with bowel perforation. He and his family did not opt for the administration of anticancer drugs because of the risk of bowel perforation. However, they wanted the patient to receive palliative radiation therapy without chemotherapy. This treatment shrunk the tumor size without causing severe complications or decline in the quality of life, until he accidentally died due to traumatic intracranial hematoma. Considering the potential efficacy and safety of this treatment, it should be studied in more patients with MEITL.
