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 as a mode of relapse in multiple myeloma (MM) is unusual. Current recommendations do not incorporate the routine use of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) imaging prior to haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in MM. We report a case of relapsed MM with complete remission as per IMWG criteria. In the interim period, before the HSCT, the patient had localizing neurological signs and symptoms attributed to multiple extramedullary plasmacytomas. The uniqueness of this case is that this patient after complete marrow remission with no obvious external masses had unexpected, symptomatic multiple extramedullary plasmacytomas. This case illustrates the need for integration of FDG PET/CT imaging into routine pre-HSCT investigations in relapsed MM to prevent missing any asymptomatic extramedullary plasmacytomas.
