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
Idiopathic Brachial Neuritis (IBN), is a rare brachial plexopathy with an unknown aetiology. Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic plasma cell disease characterised by bone lesions. In this article, we present the case of a 59-year-old male patient with IBN associated with multiple myeloma, who was admitted to our clinic with right shoulder pain and right arm weakness. He experienced muscle weakness and atrophy in his right arm after a sudden onset of pain attack in the shoulder. Plexus and cervical vertebral MRI showed no pathology. Electrodiagnostic studies showed upper and middle trunk plexopathies. Laboratory analysis revealed anaemia, hypercalcaemia, renal dysfunction and monoclonal gammopathy in immunoglobulin electrophoresis. A bone marrow biopsy established the diagnosis of IgG kappa multiple myeloma. This is the first case report that presents the association of multiple myeloma and IBN.
