Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma in the lung misdiagnosed as lung cancer: A case report and literature review.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Background: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is an extremely rare kind of soft tissue plasma cell neoplasm without bone marrow involvement or other systemic characteristics of multiple myeloma. Primary pulmonary plasmacytoma (PPP), with no specific clinical manifestations, is an exceedingly rare type of EMP. Because of its complexity, PPP is often difficult to diagnose. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (CT-guided PCNB) has been shown to have high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for characterization of pulmonary lesion, particularly if malignancy is suspected. Here we presented a rare case of PPP diagnosed with CT-guided PCNB. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female smoker who visited our outpatient clinic for a mass in the left lower lobe of the lung. Pathological based on CT-guided PCNB yielded a PPP with no lymph node or other distant metastasis. Conclusions: Extramedullary plasmacytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pulmonary mass.
