Blurry Vision as a Presentation of Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia: A Case Report With Review of Current Management.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. 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
A patient was diagnosed with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) after the initial findings of anemia and ophthalmological findings of retinal hemorrhage. Upon further workup, the patient was found to have an IgM predominant monoclonal gammopathy on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP). This highlights the need for open communication between different specialties, streamlining rapid and accurate diagnosis. Also highlighted are the unique pathophysiological changes involved in the development of WM. A patient's primary complaint was blurry vision. After the patient was noted to have a monoclonal gammopathy on SPEP, bone marrow biopsy was performed. The bone marrow biopsy findings were consistent with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL). The patient received plasmapheresis and chemotherapy. The disease course is described. The patient saw rapid improvement in all lab abnormalities after the beginning of the appropriate therapy of plasmapheresis and chemotherapy. Remission is common with WM. Regular follow-up with this patient is important.
