Cytology and clinical features of myelomatous pleural effusion: Three case reports and a review of the literature.
Review in Diagnostic cytopathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to report the clinical features, laboratory findings, and cytomorphology, and prognosis of three patients with myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE). The literature pertaining to MPE was reviewed. The three cases and literature review suggest that MPE is rare and often associated with a poor prognosis. The correct diagnosis depends on the aggressive clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and chromosomal abnormalities, but routine pathological examination of the pleural effusion has low sensitivity. Cell blocks stained with hematoxylin & eosin and by immunohistochemistry revealed that abnormal proliferation of plasma cells and light chain restrictive expression in MPE may be helpful for improving the detection rate of MPE.
