1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 (Kahler disease) is a monoclonal plasma cell immunoproliferative neoplasm originating within the bone marrow that involves the production of monoclonal immunoglobulins, mostly IgG and IgA. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a subset of plasma cell neoplasms that can develop in patients at the time of diagnosis with multiple myeloma, or relapse of the disease. Symptoms related to plasmacytomas depend on the primary location. Here in, we present a rare case of extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the portacaval space in an 83-year-old African American female with relapsed multiple myeloma. She was treated successfully with radiation therapy with complete resolution of the mass. In this case report, we aim to discuss the clinical features along with diagnostic methods and treatment for extramedullary plasmacytomas with emphasis on utilizing a multidisciplinary approach in managing these rare cases.
