Pericardial fluid cytology as a diagnostic tool for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a case report.
Article in Advances in laboratory medicine, 2026. 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
Objectives: Primary cardiac lymphoma represents an extremely rare entity of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Case presentation: We report the case of a woman who presented with dyspnea, asthenia, chest pain, cough, and odynophagia. Investigations revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphomas type primary cardiac lymphoma through cytological examination of pericardial fluid. Confirmatory diagnosis was established through cytology of pericardial effusion, supported by imaging techniques. The patient completed all cycles of chemotherapy and is currently in remission. Conclusions: This case highlights the essential role of accurate cytological evaluation by laboratory professionals, which can facilitate early diagnosis and may obviate the need for more invasive procedures such as endomyocardial biopsy.
