Solitary spinal extradural plasmacytoma: a case report and literature review.
Review in Clinical neuroradiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Solitary spinal extradural plasmacytoma (SSEP) is a rare but distinct form of plasma cell disorder. The clinical picture and treatment of SSEP are reviewed using the seven previously reported cases. The three male and four female patients were aged 40-85 years. The location was cervical spine in one patient, cervicothoracic in one, thoracic in two, thoracolumbar in one, lumbar in one, and extensive involvement in one. Progressive paraparesis and sensory disturbance were the predominant symptoms. Neuroimaging showed a compressive extradural mass lesion in the dorsal spinal canal without findings of local bone destructive changes in all cases. Four of five patients who underwent decompressive surgical maneuver and tumor resection showed neurological improvement. Immunoglobulin (IgG) kappa subtype was the most predominant histological type, followed by IgD lambda and IgA kappa subtypes. SSEP should be included in the differential diagnosis of an extradural tumor located in the dorsal spinal canal without associated bony changes. Surgery may be effective for symptomatic relief.
