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

BACKGROUND/

aimSolitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a rare, malignant plasma-cell tumor, which mainly occurs in the head and neck regions. Globally the disease has been rarely happening up to 2019, with only about ten papers focused on SEP cases reported in English. Thus, a literature collectively reviewing the characteristics of the patients would be valuable. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe enrolled 10 SEP patients, and recorded their primary sites and the treatment modality, and analyzed their survival rates and outcomes. We also reviewed previous studies and compared their findings with ours.

resultsNo gender or age disparity has been observed, and younger patients had a better local control with RT compared to surgery among our patients.

conclusionFurther investigations with more patients and long-time follow-up may provide more information for treatment determination and the recurrence and progression from SEP to MM.
