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

The association of sarcoidosis with multiple myeloma is not well known. Including this case report, 12 cases of patients with both sarcoidosis and multiple myeloma have been reported in the literature. The skeletal lesions of both conditions have many clinical and radiological similarities, and unless clinicians are aware of the association and the possibility of dual pathologies, the diagnosis of multiple myeloma in patients known with sarcoidosis may be missed. We present a case of a patient known with longstanding sarcoidosis who was found to have multiple lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involving the pelvis and both proximal femurs. Histological analysis revealed the presence of both non-necrotising granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis, and sheets of plasma cells consistent with a plasma cell neoplasm.
