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

Extramedullary myeloma (EMM) is an infrequent but well-established manifestation of multiple myeloma (MM), defined as a soft tissue plasma cell neoplasm without bone marrow involvement. Gallbladder involvement in EMM, however, is a very rare occurrence, with only 8 cases found in the English medical literature. Here, we present a case of an older adult male with a gallbladder mass in the presence of increasing serum kappa light chains after a normal bone marrow biopsy confirmed the complete remission of a previous MM diagnosis. Histopathologic evaluation of a biopsied sample confirmed the mass as an atypical plasma cell neoplasm. Later in his treatment, he developed several firm, smooth, violaceous skin nodules on the torso, which histopathology confirmed as also being atypical plasma cell neoplasms. We aim to contribute to the medical literature by expanding the pool of information regarding EMM of the gallbladder to support future diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
