Rare and Elusive: The Challenges of Bronchoscopically Diagnosing Pulmonary Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma.

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 pulmonary lymphomas (PPLs) are rare clinical entities representing 0.5%-1% of all pulmonary neoplasms, of which mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the most common type (80%). PPLs are traditionally considered challenging to diagnose bronchoscopically given the rarity of these entities, small sample sizes, and the ancillary testing often required to adequately differentiate them from benign intraparenchymal lymph nodes. Here, we report three cases of pulmonary MALT lymphomas. In two cases, the patients presented with pulmonary nodules and were diagnosed by robotic-assisted bronchoscopy following prior nondiagnostic biopsy attempts. The third patient presented with distal tracheal thickening, where flexible bronchoscopy revealed a particularly rare case of MALT lymphoma with endobronchial involvement.
