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 plasmacytoma of the breast is rare. It is important to recognize the imaging findings and include it as a differential consideration in multiple myeloma patients with a breast mass. A 74-year-old woman undergoing chemotherapy for relapsed multiple myeloma presented with a palpable mass in her right breast. A screening mammogram four months prior was unremarkable. She underwent a diagnostic right mammogram which showed two well-circumscribed hyperdense masses. An ultrasound of the right breast showed mixed echogenic masses with indistinct margins and increased vascularity. Ultrasound guided biopsy confirmed the presence of an extramedullary plasmacytoma. A follow-up whole body PET/CT demonstrated an FDG-avid right breast mass with extensive osseous metastases.
