Multiple extramedullary plasmacytomas of the trachea and pharyngeal tissue: a case report and literature review.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is an infrequent form of plasma cell dyscrasia that presents as a mass of monoclonal plasma cells located in extramedullary soft tissues with no skeletal component. EMP constitutes ~4% of all plasma cell neoplasms and occurs mostly in the upper respiratory tract. Here, we report a rare case of multiple EMPs involving the trachea, laryngopharynx, and oropharynx, which caused symptoms of airway obstruction as the only clinical manifestation. The patient was diagnosed by histopathology of the tissue from bronchoscopic resection and successfully managed with bronchoscopic intervention to treat lesions in the trachea and radiotherapy combined with surgical resection to treat lesions in the pharynx. There was no recurrence after 14 months of follow-up. Endoscopic intervention plays a key role in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of EMP involving the central airways.
