Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Presenting with Protein-losing Enteropathy during Treatment for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

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
Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A 38-year-old woman with well-controlled SLE developed abdominal pain, lower-extremity edema, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia. The patient was then diagnosed with PLE. Despite treatment with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, persistent hypoalbuminemia was observed. A biopsy was performed using double-balloon enteroscopy due to small bowel lesions, which confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma mimicking PLE associated with SLE. The possibility of malignant lymphoma should be considered in cases of treatment-resistant PLEs associated with SLE.
