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

purposeThe purpose of this case series is to show the varied oral presentations of multiple myeloma, illustrating the importance of carefully surveying the oral cavity for suspicious lesions that could be indicative of palpable disease and/or recurrence. The diagnostic criteria and prognostic features for multiple myeloma were also reviewed. CASE SERIES SUMMARY: This report focuses on five patients with myeloma manifestations involving the oral cavity, in which the oral presentation of multiple myeloma was an early indication of disease relapse. Although the clinical presentation may be variable, the majority of patients will develop lytic bone lesions and less commonly, extramedullary involvement during the course of their disease. DISCUSSION: The presentation of myeloma can be varied and the oral presentation, although rare, may be the sole manifestation or part of a group of signs of disease progression. Clinical presentations of patients with myelomatous lesions can mimic common dental pathologies, which then, in turn, can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment.

conclusionAs members of an interdisciplinary oncology team, it is essential to be familiar with oral manifestations of multiple myeloma and proper diagnostic/biopsy techniques in order to avoid misdiagnosis and treatment delays.
