Multiple Myeloma and Vasculitic Neuropathy: An Unusual Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow resulting in the production of paraproteins. It is more common in elderly adults and presents with nonspecific symptoms like bone pain, pathological fracture, fatigue, and signs of hypercalcemia. Peripheral neuropathy is an atypical presentation. We present a rare case of vasculitic neuropathy (VN) who was also diagnosed with MM at the same time. Nerve conduction study and biopsy showed findings suggestive of demyelinating VN. His serum protein electrophoresis and bone marrow aspirate were consistent with MM. The association between these two conditions remains understudied. So far there is no strong evidence suggesting an association between MM and VN. If VN was just coincidental or a presenting symptom of MM remains a question and warrants further studies.
