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
The objective of the present study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of a group of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who had two different immunoglobulin λ light chains as determined by immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE). A total of 26 patients with MM had two different λ light chains by IFE at diagnosis in hospital from January 2006 to June 2012. Data were collected from the medical records of these patients. The clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, responses, risk factors and outcomes of this special group of patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients with MM and two different λ light chains by IFE accounted for 5.4% (26/483) of all the patients with MM during the same period. There were 17 patients (65.4%) with renal dysfunction and 10 patients (38.5%) with extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) at diagnosis. Ten patients (38.5%) had abnormalities by fluorescence
