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 (MM) is a malignant proliferation of the plasma cells mainly affecting bone marrow. Most common sites of extramedullary dissemination reported in the literature are skin, liver, kidneys and central nervous system. Multiple Myeloma is rarely associated with lung plasmacytoma. In fact; dissemination of MM in lung is relatively uncommon being described in only 5% of cases and therefore the diagnosis of this entity can be misleading to most clinicians. We report a rare case of lung plasmacytoma with MM in a 65-year-old, smoker, male who presented with shortness of breath and a heterogeneous mass involving the lower left lobe visualized on CT scan. Careful integration of the clinical manifestations with the radiological and pathological data from CT-guided transparietal lung biopsy and bone marrow biopsy led to the diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma with lung plasmacytoma. Given the rarity of this localization, the purpose of this study was to increase knowledge of this disease among pulmonologists, in order to provide more timely diagnosis.
