Five Cases of Primary Pulmonary Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma With Atypical Image Findings and Literature Review: A Case Series.

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
Primary pulmonary MALT lymphoma is a rare, indolent disease with nonspecific imaging often mimicking lung adenocarcinoma. We retrospectively analysed five patients (2020-2025) who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for suspected adenocarcinoma but were histopathologically diagnosed with MALT lymphoma. Notably, two patients presented atypically with pure ground-glass nodules (GGNs) and one exhibited a rare coexistence of bilateral consolidations and GGNs. At a median follow-up of 22.8 months, all patients remained disease-free or stable. In conclusion, diverse imaging manifestations, such as pure GGNs, complicate the diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma. Surgical resection is often a diagnostic necessity that also provides secondary therapeutic benefits for localised disease. Despite a generally favourable prognosis, long-term follow-up remains essential due to the potential risk of high-grade transformation.
