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

We histologically and immunohistochemically studied 95 bone marrow (BM) reactive plasmacytoses. Ten biopsies from plasma cell myeloma (PCM) patients served as a control group. In addition, we studied 10 monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) cases. Histologically, plasmacytosis varied between 5% and 25% with an interstitial pattern of plasma cell (PC) distribution being characteristically displayed. Immunohistochemically, we did not find any CD56/NCAM nor cyclin D1 expression in all biopsies (95 of 95, 100%), not even a weak, doubtful one; PCs were all polyclonal and CD138 positive. On the contrary, myeloma-associated PCs showed monoclonality for kappa- or lambda- light chain and strong CD56/NCAM immunoreactivity (8 of 10, 80%); four of them were cyclin D1 positive. Osteoblasts exhibited similar CD56/NCAM expression in both groups. Our data confirm the diagnostic utility of CD56/NCAM in the phenotypic characterization of polyclonal plasma cells, suggesting an important role of this particular immunomarker in the BM trephine study of polyclonal versus neoplastic plasmacytic infiltrations.
