Gastrointestinal lymphoma in a patient on long-term azathioprine therapy: A case report with imaging features mimicking Crohn's disease.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. 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
A 43-year-old female was admitted with a 1-month history of recurrent periumbilical abdominal pain and nausea. The patient had a 7-year history of Azathioprine use for the management of myasthenia gravis with AChR antibodies. The initial abdominal ultrasound revealed thickened small bowel walls at multiple sites. Abdominal CT enterography (CTE) raised suspicion for Crohn's disease or lymphoma. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed multiple ulcers in the gastric body and antrum, with biopsy samples taken from the lesions. Histopathological analysis confirmed a diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma in the stomach. However, the imaging characteristics of the small bowel lesions on CTE were inconclusive in distinguishing between Crohn's disease and lymphoma. After a multidisciplinary discussion, the patient was indicated for chemotherapy based on the confirmed diagnosis of gastric lymphoma. While awaiting the scheduled chemotherapy session, the patient developed sudden right iliac fossa pain, which subsequently spread across the abdomen. CT imaging revealed a perforation of the small intestine in the right iliac fossa. The patient underwent surgical resection of the affected small bowel segment, and pathological examination confirmed B-cell lymphoma in the small intestine.
