Pediatric gastric MALT lymphoma: an antibiotic-treatable lymphoma, a case report and review of the literature.
Review in BMC pediatrics, 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
objectiveTo summarize descriptively the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.
methodsWe report and analyze the clinical management and 3-year follow-up data of one pediatric gastric MALT lymphoma case. Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive review of the literature by searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese VIP Information Database (VIP), and Wan Fang Med Database (Wan Fang) from inception until August 6, 2025, for case reports and case series on pediatric gastric MALT lymphoma. The clinical features of identified cases were summarized descriptively.
resultsA 13-year-old boy was diagnosed with gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma), positive for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). After H. pylori eradication, two follow-up gastroscopies over 3 years showed complete regression of the gastric MALT lymphoma and negative H. pylori status. At the 3-year follow-up, the patient exhibited good growth and development and remains under clinical surveillance. Literature review identified 18 articles (published 1984–2024), reporting 26 pediatric patients (14 males). Most patients were school-aged or adolescents, with a predominance of Asian cases. The main clinical presentation was epigastric and periumbilical pain. Gastroscopic findings were non-specific, with lesions most commonly located in the gastric antrum and body. Approximately 85% of patients had H. pylori infection. Clinical stages were generally early, with localized disease. All patients achieved favorable long-term outcomes after H. pylori eradication therapy during follow-up.
conclusionPediatric gastric MALT lymphoma is rare, typically presents at an early stage, and is strongly associated with H. pylori infection. Eradication of H. pylori is the first-line therapy. Long-term follow-up after anti-H. pylori treatment is essential.
