1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This case report presents a rare case of primary pulmonary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (PMZL-MALT). Follow-up lung imaging performed 17 months after the initial presentation showed persistent pulmonary consolidation. After a radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS)-guided transbronchial lung biopsy, histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of primary PMZL-MALT. Notably, while RP-EBUS is commonly used for solitary peripheral pulmonary lesions, its value in asymptomatic, bilateral, nonspecific consolidations-an easily misdiagnosed scenario often leading to unnecessary invasive procedures-remains underrecognized, which this case is aimed at highlighting. Our report is aimed at raising clinical awareness of this disease and promoting early diagnosis and treatment.
