Beyond the Surface: Duodenal-Type Follicular Lymphoma Diagnosed Despite Normal-Appearing Duodenal Mucosa and Absence of Focal Duodenal FDG Uptake.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal 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
Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (DTFL) is an uncommon and often indolent extranodal lymphoma that may be difficult to recognize when characteristic endoscopic or imaging findings are absent. We report a 60-year-old man evaluated for progressive fatigue, epigastric pain, and iron deficiency whose esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed normal-appearing duodenal mucosa. Random duodenal biopsies revealed follicular lymphoma with morphology and immunophenotype consistent with follicular lymphoma, duodenal type, in the absence of systemic follicular lymphoma. Staging positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed no focal duodenal fluorodeoxyglucose uptake but demonstrated equivocal low-level uptake in mildly prominent mesenteric lymph nodes. Given unclear staging and persistent gastrointestinal symptoms affecting quality of life, the patient was treated with rituximab monotherapy. Follow-up PET/CT findings were consistent with complete metabolic response, and repeat duodenal biopsies showed no residual lymphoma. This case highlights the diagnostic value of random duodenal biopsy in unexplained iron deficiency and emphasizes the staging complexity of DTFL when PET/CT findings are equivocal.
