Plasmocytoma presented as pancreatic head mass.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 malignant tumour characterized by proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells, this cell line will produce large amount of ineffective immunoglobulins that are ineffective at fighting infection resulting in immunosuppression. These are medullary tumours most of the time; however, in rare cases they may arise extra medullary. The incidence of extramedullary plasmocytoma is about 5% and they arise in the chest most of the time; but they can also arise in other body systems like gastrointestinal system, which is involved in 10% of the time. We present a very rare case of primary plasmocytoma involving the pancreas. According to our research, there are only 25 cases of primary pancreatic plasmocytoma reported in english literature.
