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

Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) are a subcategory of plasma cell neoplasm that involves organs outside the bone marrow. Involvement of the pancreas is relatively rare, reported in only 2.3% of autopsies. Radiologic findings in plasmacytoma are nonspecific, but endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration is a fast and reliable technique to acquire a histologic sample for initial diagnosis. Recently, the use of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT has been recommended in patients with active multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma. We present an interesting case of primary EMP in the pancreatic body encasing the portal vein as well as the celiac artery, which was detected before the patient was diagnosed of multiple myeloma.
