Massive Myelomatous Pleural Effusion With Contralateral Mediastinal Shift: A Unique Presentation of Extramedullary Myeloma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 relatively common malignancy that primarily affects the bone marrow, while extramedullary disease (EMD) occurs in the skin and muscle, lung pleura, lymph nodes, liver, and CNS. Myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is a rare extramedullary manifestation of MM in which pleural fluid is composed almost entirely of abnormal plasma cells. MPE and other types of EMD are associated with poor prognosis, and MPE can present emergently due to tension physiology. We report a case of a patient with massive MPE presenting with contralateral midline shift. There are exceedingly few such cases and this report highlights a unique presentation of this rare clinical entity. Epidemiology, radiographic features, diagnosis, treatment, and implications for the prognosis of the disease are discussed.
