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

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) accounts for only 3% of plasma cell malignancies; others include multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia and solitary plasmacytoma of bone. The majority of EMPs are found in the upper respiratory tract. Other sites include the GI tract, bladder, CNS, thyroid, breast, testes, parotid gland, lymph nodes and skin. There are eight cases in the literature of adrenal plasmacytoma, however, only two were bilateral. We describe our recent experience of bilateral adrenal plasmacytoma and review of the literature. While EMP may present as aggressive locally destructive lesions, excellent local control can be achieved in a majority of cases. Follow-up should be lifelong due to risk of progression to multiple myeloma.
