Solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma-a rare differential of an endobronchial mass.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 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
Diagnostic dilemma, owing to the inconclusiveness of biopsy results, often leaves us with limited options to offer to the patients upfront, amongst the various armamentarium available. We hereby report a rare case of extramedullary plasmacytoma, whose diagnosis was established only on the final histopathology report with the aid of immunohistochemistry. A 50-year-old gentleman presented to our outpatient setup with computed tomography suggestive of a well-defined endobronchial mass occupying the left lower lobe bronchus. However, bronchoscopy and computed tomography-guided biopsies were inconclusive. After a routine metastatic workup, the patient underwent a left lower lobectomy following a provisional diagnosis of carcinoid on the frozen section. The final histopathology was solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma. Postoperative myeloma workup was within normal limits and the patient is doing well and disease free at 8 months of follow-up. This rare differential needs to be kept in mind while evaluating a case of well-defined endobronchial growth.
