Case Report: Pulmonary and gastrointestinal involvement in a rare case of Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia in French Guiana.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the proliferation of lymphoplasmacytic cells producing monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM). Extra-hematopoietic involvement, although rare, can affect the gastrointestinal tract in approximately 4% of cases and the lungs in 3-5% of cases. This case highlights the diversity of extramedullary manifestations in WM and underscores the importance of performing pulmonary and gastrointestinal endoscopies with systematic biopsies for optimal disease management. Case presentation: We report the case of a 60-year-old Haitian man diagnosed with WM in January 2023 following an episode of acute respiratory failure. Biopsies revealed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in both the bronchial and gastrointestinal mucosa. Biopsies revealed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in both the bronchial and gastrointestinal mucosa, despite normal macroscopic findings during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of systematic biopsies during endoscopic examinations, even in the absence of visible lesions, to detect lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in WM. These findings could help in changing the approach to disease management and improving patient outcomes.
