Efficacy of thiotepa-conditioned autologous stem-cell transplantation as consolidation therapy for primary leptomeningeal malignant lymphoma: a case report and review of literature.
Review in Annals of hematology, 2024. 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
Primary leptomeningeal malignant lymphoma (PLML) is a rare subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Treatment is often based on PCNSL, but currently there is no established treatment strategy due to its rarity. We report a case of a 46-year-old male diagnosed with PLML through cerebrospinal fluid cytology and flow cytometry, presenting with multiple cranial nerve palsies and L5 radiculopathy. The patient achieved complete remission (CR) with R-MPV (rituximab, methotrexate, procarbazine, and vincristine) combined with intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate, cytarabine, and prednisolone). This was followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) using a thiotepa-based conditioning regimen, resulting in sustained CR. A literature review on the use of ASCT for PLML revealed three reported cases, including ours, all achieving CR with ASCT and minimal adverse events. These findings suggest that ASCT can be a promising consolidation therapy for PLML. Further studies are needed to establish standardized treatment protocols for this rare condition.
