Complete Resolution of Skull Base Solitary Plasmacytoma Using Proton-Beam Radiotherapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Cranial solitary plasmacytomas are uncommon lesions, and localization to the skull base is rare. Here we present a case in a 36-year-old woman who complained of dizziness and mild headaches. Radiographic imaging indicated the presence of a solitary skull base lesion in the posterior cranial fossa. Laboratory tests and imaging excluded systemic disease. A biopsy of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of plasmacytoma. The patient was treated with proton-beam radiation and had a complete clinical and radiographic resolution, demonstrating the previously unreported utility of monotherapy with proton-beam radiation in such cases.
