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

A 72-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of systemic edema. Hyperpigmentation, hemangioma, pleural effusion, IgG-kappa-type monoclonal protein, high vascular endothelial growth factor values, renal failure, and nerve conduction study abnormalities were also present. Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) showed 0.2% neoplastic plasma cells (CD38-, CD56-, and kappa-positive; CD19-, CD27-, and lambda-negative) in the bone marrow leading to POEMS syndrome. Cases involving kappa-type POEMS syndrome are extremely rare. A kidney biopsy revealed membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis-like changes in our case. Lenalidomide-dexamethasone therapy improved the renal function. Detection of neoplastic plasma cells by MFC was useful for the accurate diagnosis and treatment evaluation.
