Burkitt Lymphoma Presenting With Acute Kidney Injury and Facial Nerve Palsy: A Case Report With Literature Review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. 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 lymphoma is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. While kidney infiltration is well documented, acute kidney injury is an unusual presentation. Facial nerve palsy is even rarer. Here, we report a case of a 2-year-old boy with both of these unusual findings. He presented with acute kidney injury and bilateral nephromegaly. Two days later, he developed left-sided facial nerve palsy. Imaging showed enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed Burkitt lymphoma. He was treated following the COG ANHL01P1 protocol, with initial significant clinical improvement. Despite this, his condition deteriorated due to septic shock, and the patient died. This case emphasizes that Burkitt lymphoma can present with unusual symptoms. Therefore, it is important that clinicians maintain a high index of suspicion in cases with unusual constellations of symptoms, such as acute kidney injury and facial nerve palsy.
