IgG Lambda Myeloma Presenting as Plasmacytic Ascites: Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Indian journal of hematology & blood transfusion : an official journal of Indian Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic disease of plasma cells accounting for 13 % of haematological malignancies and 2 % of all malignancies worldwide. Ascites may develop very rarely during the course of disease in multiple myeloma. We report the case of a 78 years old male with IgG lambda multiple myeloma who initially presented with plasmacytic ascites. An exhaustive review of world literature reveals 65 cases of ascites to have been reported in myeloma over a span of 62 years (1952 till date), usually developing in the course of treatment. This is the 7th case of plasmacytic ascites to have been diagnosed at initial presentation. We review the clinical features, diagnosis, prognostic significance and treatment of such cases.
