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

Although rare, both central nervous system and pericardial involvement of myeloma have been well described in the literature. Their simultaneous occurrence in relapsed disease, however, has not been previously reported. This case describes a 54-year-old female who was treated for high-risk multiple myeloma with multiregimen chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Four months after transplant, she was found to have relapsed disease manifesting as an extraosseous, intracranial plasmacytoma and simultaneous malignant pericardial effusion. Her disease characteristics, treatment course, radiologic and pathologic findings are described in detail, and we review the previous literature to determine the various aspects of her disease that may have contributed to her aggressive clinical course.
