Multiple myeloma: a review of atypical imaging features and other distinct plasma cell disorders that demonstrate similar imaging features.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Multiple osteolytic lesions are a well-recognized and typical imaging feature of multiple myeloma as well as several other plasma cell disorders. Given the high volume of imaging studies obtained of multiple myeloma patients, radiologists will likely encounter a subset of multiple myeloma patients with less common or "atypical" findings during their practice. These atypical findings include osteosclerotic lesions, extramedullary lesions, and amyloid deposition. Similar imaging findings that are considered atypical for multiple myeloma can also be detected in other plasma cell disorders that are distinct from multiple myeloma. For instance, POEMS syndrome is a distinct plasma cell disorder from multiple myeloma, but also can present with osteosclerotic lesions. This article reviews the atypical findings associated with multiple myeloma and also reviews other plasma cell disorders that can have a similar spectrum of imaging findings. Special attention is paid to the musculoskeletal imaging findings.
