Simultaneous multiple myeloma and non-small cell lung carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Oncology letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 myeloma (MM) is the second commonest hematologic malignancy. Synchronous presentation of MM and lung cancer is a rare occurrence. The present study reports a case of MM combined with lung cancer and reviews previously reported cases of the co-existence of non-small cell lung carcinoma and MM. At Hebei General Hospital (Shijiazhuang, China), a 52-year-man was diagnosed with MM complicated by lung lesion. Lung computed tomography (CT) showed an increase in lesion density after the second cycle of chemotherapy. The lesion was surgically removed and the patient was diagnosed with non-small cell lung carcinoma by lung biopsy pathology. After the fifth cycle of VDT (bortezomib, dexamethasone and thalidomide), the patient received autologous stem cell transplantation. Immunohistochemical staining for CD38, CD138, CD39, CD203a and TNF-α were positive in both MM and lung cancer; CD73 was only positive in lung cancer. The present study described the rare event of the simultaneous occurrence of MM and lung adenocarcinoma and discussed the potential link between the two tumors. CD38 may play a role in MM and lung cancer by changing the bone marrow microenvironment through adenosine.
