Synchronous Primary Pleural Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma and Pulmonary Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Patient With Asbestos Exposure: 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
Primary pleural extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is extremely rare. We report the case of a Japanese man in his 70s who had a history of asbestos exposure and known bilateral pleural plaques and presented with dyspnea. Imaging studies revealed a pulmonary mass in the left lower lobe, and a biopsy confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) incidentally revealed increased radiotracer uptake in the pleura between the third and fourth left ribs. The pleural mass was diagnosed as primary pleural MALT lymphoma on biopsy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the synchronous occurrence of primary pleural MALT lymphoma and pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with a documented history of asbestos exposure.
