Extraosseus plasmacytoma of the pharynx with localized light chain deposition. Case report.
Article in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare disorder associated with a clonal proliferation of plasma cells, which synthesize abnormal monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains. It is characterized by systemic deposition of light chains in various organs, with the kidneys being most commonly affected. There have been few reports of isolated LCDD, i.e. in the brain, lungs and cervical lymph nodes. We here report on another patient with an isolated form of LCDD, which was limited to the pharyngeal mucosa and was associated with an extraosseus plasmacytoma of the pharynx, expanding the spectrum that has been recognized for LCDD. The patient was treated by local radiotherapy, with an excellent response. A less aggressive clinical course can probably be expected than in the usual form of LCDD, but a long-term follow-up is necessary to establish the clinical significance of this variant of LCDD.
