Cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis on the face: Effective treatment of a case using thalidomide.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis is an exceedingly rare condition that is identified in Japanese individuals in particular. The present study describes the case of a patient of mainland Chinese origin who manifested with red-brown macules, papules and plaques limited to the face. Identifying a therapy for cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis is quite difficult, however, the present patient showed a good response to low-dose thalidomide. The exact mechanism of action is not yet clear, however, we hypothesize that thalidomide may function through decreasing the secretion of interleukin-6 and affecting the growth of plasma cells.
