Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman's Disease Diagnosed by Pulmonary Histopathology: A Case Report.
Article in Respirology case reports, 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
A 41-year-old woman who presented with lower back pain, stiff shoulders and fatigue was found to have inflammatory laboratory findings and bilateral ground-glass opacities on chest x-ray. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) revealed consolidation, a nodular shadow, multiple mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy, liver enlargement, and splenomegaly. Lung biopsy showed lymphoid follicles, plasma cells and lymphocyte infiltration along bronchovascular bundles and interlobular septa, and plasma cells infiltrating the interfollicular area. Lymph node pathology revealed regressed germinal centres and an extended interfollicular area with plasma cell infiltration, as well as capillary proliferation with endothelial hyperplasia. There were no specific findings of lymphoma or immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease and she was diagnosed with idiopathic multicentric Castleman's disease (iMCD). According to consensus diagnostic criteria, lymph node pathology is required for diagnosing iMCD, but this case demonstrates that lung lesions may also provide diagnostic supportive value.
