A Case of Multiple Myeloma Associated with Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Gallbladder Manifesting as Acute Cholecystitis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematological malignancy that represents 1% of all cancers. MM is distinguished from other plasma cell disorders by prominent bone marrow involvement and systemic organ damage. Extramedullary plasmacytomas of the gall bladder (GB) or biliary ducts, whether solitary or in association with MM, are very rare. We report a case of a 66-year-old female with a history of refractory MM who presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Her laboratory evaluation revealed an abnormal liver panel and lactic acidosis. Abdominal ultrasonography was consistent with acute cholecystitis with no evidence of biliary obstruction or abnormal liver parenchyma. An open cholecystectomy with liver biopsy was performed. The histological evaluation revealed involvement of the GB submucosa and serosa, as well as the liver parenchyma by abnormal plasma cells with lambda light chain restriction. Congo red stain for the GB sample was positive. The patient declined further treatment for MM and was discharged home with comfort measures.
