Recurrent solitary bone plasmacytoma: A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPlasmacytoma is an hematological malignancy that originates in bone. It may involve a single skeletal location. Notably, these lesions can progress to involve multiple segments in 50% of cases, at which point they are classified as having multiple myeloma (MM). CASE DESCRIPTION: One year ago, this patient had undergone a D6 laminectomy and biopsy for plasmacytoma. Now at age 73, she newly presented with the onset of a progressive paraparesis of 4 weeks' duration. On examination, she had 3/5 strength in both lower extremities accompanied by diffuse hyperreflexia, and bilateral Babinski signs. She underwent a D5-D7 decompression, D6 corpectomy with anterior mesh cage reconstruction, and a D3-D9 posterior fusion.
conclusionPatients originally treated for plasmacytoma present 50% of the time with the new onset of neurological symptoms and signs due to the subsequent evolution of MM. As these lesions may be refractory to radiation and/or chemotherapy, surgery is often warranted.
