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

Monoclonal gammopathy with undetermined significance (MGUS) carries a risk of progression to multiple myeloma, and progression is usually diagnosed with changes in M-protein or bone marrow biopsy. We report a case of 62-year-old female patient showing MGUS progression to multiple myeloma without significant changes in M-protein but diagnosed by kidney biopsy. During the follow-ups, azotemia and tubular proteinuria were aggravated without elevation of M-protein. Kidney biopsy showed intratubular and glomerular inclusions associated with plasma cell dysplasia. The progression of MGUS to multiple myeloma was diagnosed by this kidney biopsy. The patient's renal function and tubular proteinuria were markedly improved after chemotherapy.
