Carotid space Burkitt lymphoma presenting with headache: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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
Burkitt's lymphoma presents with diverse clinical manifestations, including rare extranodal occurrences. This report documents a unique case of primary Burkitt's lymphoma located in the carotid space, an infrequent presentation with significant diagnostic implications. A 25-year-old male presented with the sudden onset severe headache and nausea. Imaging revealed an infiltrative lesion encompassing the right carotid sheath, extending into the superior retropharynx and nasopharynx. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping demonstrated significant restriction. A core needle biopsy confirmed Burkitt's lymphoma diagnosis. Following the initiation of chemotherapy, follow-up imaging showed significant tumor regression. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with carotid space tumors and underscores the pivotal role of imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in their comprehensive evaluation. Multidisciplinary management, including aggressive chemotherapy, is imperative for achieving favorable outcomes in rare extranodal lymphomas like Burkitt's. Further research is warranted to refine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for managing such complex cases.
