Multicentric Castleman disease of hyaline‑vascular variant with paraneoplastic pemphigus results in abnormal lung function: Report of 3 cases.

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
Castleman disease (CD) is clinically divided into unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric CD (MCD). Hyaline-vascular variant (HV) is the most common pathological type of UCD, while the plasma cell type (PC) is the most common type of MCD and thus, hyaline-vascular variant multicentric CD (HV-MCD) is a rare type of CD. In addition, its etiology has remained elusive. The present study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 3 patients diagnosed as HV-MCD admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University (Guangxi, China) between January 2007 and September 2020. A total of 2 males and 1 female were admitted. The areas involved varied considerably. Respiratory symptoms were seen in 3 cases, along with fever, weight loss and splenomegaly. Damage to the skin and mucous membranes resulted in oral ulcers when accompanied by paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). Dry and wet rales were found in all patients. All 3 cases were complicated with PNP and had hypoxemia and obstructive ventilation dysfunction. In accordance with PC-MCD, it manifested as lymph node enlargement and may involve several lymph nodes. Computed tomography mainly indicated bronchiectasis and mediastinal lymph node enlargement. In 1 case, chemotherapy failed after local mass excision, 1 case remitted after chemotherapy but the lung lesion was irreversible and 1 case was untreated and soon died of respiratory failure. The cases of HV-MCD with pulmonary involvement were induced by small airway lesions and associated with poor prognosis. Respiratory symptoms along with systemic symptoms were common.
