Multiple myeloma presenting as a cervical intraforaminal tumor: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 a hematological malignancy with characteristic clonal plasma cell proliferation and production of monoclonal immunoglobulins. Although it can often metastasize to the bony spine, completely extravertebral and extra-/intradural manifestations are exceedingly rare. In this case report, we describe a 51-year-old male patient with cervical extradural and intraforaminal MM who was surgically treated in our department. Clinical findings and radiological images were retrieved from medical records and an imaging system. This unusual localization of MM and similar cases in the literature are reviewed in detail. The patient underwent tumor resection via a ventral approach, and postoperative MRI demonstrated a sufficient decompression of neural structures. No new neurological deficits were observed at subsequent follow-ups. Although 7 cases of extramedullary extradural manifestations of multiple myeloma have been described in the literature so far, this is the first case of intraforaminal extramedullary multiple myeloma located in the cervical spine and treated by surgery.
