Splenic Lymphoma Mimicking a Hydatid Cyst Causing a Diagnostic Challenge: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Splenic lymphoma, particularly primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PS-DLBCL), is a rare malignancy that often presents with nonspecific symptoms, complicating diagnosis. This case report describes a 44-year-old female with left flank pain and nausea whose imaging studies, including ultrasound and CT, revealed a well-defined heterogeneous lesion in the spleen and left pleural effusion, initially suggesting a hydatid cyst. Despite negative serological tests for echinococcosis, clinical suspicion remained due to the endemic presence of the disease. Owing to atypical imaging features and the patient's worsening condition, a splenectomy was performed, revealing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma upon histopathological examination.
