Successful eradication of leptomeningeal plasma cell disease.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plasma cell leukaemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive form of malignant monoclonal gammopathy characterized by the presence of high levels of plasma cells in peripheral blood. Central nervous system involvement of PCL has no established treatment and an extremely poor prognosis. We here present a 59-year-old male patient diagnosed with PCL, initially treated with induction chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. After achieving a partial response, he relapsed and presented with leptomeningeal disease. He was then successfully treated with dexamethasone, pomalidomide, and an intrathecal combination of methotrexate, methylprednisolone and cytarabine. This cleared his cerebrospinal fluid from plasma cells achieving a durable partial response.
