Imaging the butterfly: A rare presentation of bilateral primary small lymphocytic lymphoma in the infratemporal fossa with incidental detection.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
The infratemporal fossa is a deep anatomical space rarely involved in lymphoproliferative disorders. Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), a low-grade subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), is exceptionally rare in this region, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report the first known case of a 48-year-old patient with a primary, bilateral, butterfly-shaped SLL of the infratemporal fossae, discovered incidentally during imaging after a road traffic accident. Clinical signs of infratemporal fossa involvement are often nonspecific or absent, particularly in indolent forms like SLL. Diagnosis relies on imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, especially purine analogues, while surgery is usually limited to diagnostic biopsy. Long-term follow-up with laboratory and radiologic monitoring is essential due to the risk of recurrence or systemic involvement, including the spleen, liver, and lymph nodes.
