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

Aggregomas are rare localized masses of monoclonal nonamyloid immunoglobulin light-chain deposits. To date, there have been only a few reports of isolated aggregomas, with the majority detailing renal, lymph node and brain deposition. We present a rare case of paraspinal aggregoma in a 67-year-old female who presented with a complaint of cough and chest pain. Imaging demonstrated a left-sided paravertebral mass extending from T7-T10. Pathological analysis showed lamellar deposition of extracellular eosinophilic material with an associated lymphoplasmacytic nonamyloid infiltrate. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a paraspinal aggregoma. While exceedingly rare, this tumor can be included in the radiologic differential diagnosis of paravertebral soft tissue tumors in adults. The observation of our case adds to the limited understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, natural history, and treatment of nonamyloid light-chain depositions.
