Secondary extramedullary plasmacytoma in the absence of active multiple myeloma: a rare cause of small bowel obstruction.

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
A 75-year-old woman with a history of multiple myeloma in remission presented with signs, symptoms and imaging findings consistent with a small bowel obstruction secondary to an intussusception. She underwent operative management, and intraoperative findings were consistent with an intussusception of mid small bowel as the cause of the small bowel obstruction. The offending portion of small bowel was resected, and histopathology confirmed a plasmacytoma deposit in the small bowel at the lead point of the intussusception. Secondary extramedullary plasmacytomas in the gastrointestinal system are rare but can have significant consequences like small bowel obstruction requiring operative management. We present a rare case that emphasizes the need to be highly suspicious for uncommon sequelae of multiple myeloma like secondary extramedullary plasmacytomas when managing patients with history of multiple myeloma in remission with concerning abdominal symptoms.
