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

backgroundExtramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a plasma cell malignancy that originates in soft tissues without evidence of systemic spread, and its management differs from other plasma cell neoplasms. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of initial

methods

resultsPET/CT detected new lesions in 38.1% (8/21) of patients with 17 lesions, and lymph nodes were the most common site, accounting for 70.6% (12/17) of all lesions, followed by bone (n = 2), and less frequently, breast (n = 1), lung (n = 1), and stomach (n = 1). These findings resulted in treatment changes in 7 patients with EMP. Among these, 4 patients had major treatment changes and 3 patients had minor changes. Of the 21 patients, progression to MM was observed in 8 patients (8/21, 38.1%). In univariate analysis, tumour size > 4 cm and partial response (PR) after treatment were significant prognostic factors for Progression-free survival (PFS).
