Vertebral Involvement in Pediatric Burkitt Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and primary spinal involvement as its initial manifestation is extremely rare in children. We report the case of a 10-year-old female presenting with progressive lower limb weakness and back pain. MRI revealed a destructive lesion of the thoracic spine with epidural extension and spinal cord compression. Histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis of BL. The patient was treated according to the French African Pediatric Oncology Group-Lymphomes Malins B (GFAOP/LMB) protocol, with rapid neurological improvement and complete remission at follow-up. This report highlights the importance of considering BL in the differential diagnosis of pediatric spinal cord compression, as early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate chemotherapy are crucial for achieving favorable outcomes.
