[Skeletal changes in plasma cell dyscrasias].
Review in Der Radiologe, 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
backgroundPlasma cell dyscrasias are a spectrum of diseases characterized by clonal plasma cell proliferation. Important entities within this group are monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, smoldering multiple myeloma, and symptomatic multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: The goal of this review is to illustrate plasma cell dyscrasia imaging findings of bone and bone marrow as seen on whole-body computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to discuss the relevance of imaging for management of patients with plasma cell dyscrasias. MATERIALS AND
methodsSelective literature search with analysis of dedicated original research articles and reviews and discussion of clinical guidelines.
resultsDiagnostic classification of plasma cell dyscrasias is based on the SLiM-CRAB criteria. CT primarily represents imaging of mineralized bone to show osseous end organ damage by detecting osteodestruction. MRI is primarily used for bone marrow imaging to detect diffuse or focal bone marrow infiltration, even in the absence of bone destruction. Different patterns of bone marrow infiltration can be distinguished. Treatment response is associated with characteristic imaging signs of lesion regression.
conclusionImaging plays a prominent role in treatment stratification of patients with plasma cell dyscrasia at first diagnosis and during follow-up.
