Pulmonary extra-nodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma: A rare cause of persistent lung consolidation.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pulmonary extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, also known as extra-nodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, is rare among all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and generally among all pulmonary malignancies. We present a 46-year-old lady with persistent right lower lung consolidation despite earlier treatment efforts with intravenous antibiotics for community acquired pneumonia. Apart from initial presentation with a short 3-day history of fever, cough and shortness of breath, she had remained largely asymptomatic throughout the follow-up period. Flexible bronchoscopy done ruled out infectious aetiologies but transbronchial lung biopsies showed atypical lymphocytes. A computed tomography guided core biopsy of her right lung consolidation was subsequently performed, confirming a diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma. She was promptly referred to the haematology team for further management and commencement of chemotherapy. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma, albeit uncommon and often follows a relatively indolent cause, should be considered as a differential diagnosis among patients with persistent lung consolidation.
