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

Rapid advances are being made in the field of plasma cell dyscrasias. Many abstracts pertaining to the laboratory aspects, clinical features, treatment modalities and outcome of plasma cell dyscrasias were presented at Hematocon 2017. All the total of 24 abstracts pertaining to plasma cell dyscrasias presented at the Hematocon 2017 were reviewed. Out of them 10 were original research and 14 were case reports/short case series. The key findings of original research studies conducted in India are being summarized. Exciting research in the field of plasma cell dyscrasias is being carried out by various centers in the country. Data presented on various aspects of research in plasma cell disorders is encouraging. Multicentric research in the field plasma cell dyscrasias should be encouraged to highlight the various aspects of disease biology and challenges in management unique to our country.
