1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS) is a complication of monoclonal plasma cell tumors. The frequency of HVS depends on the type of monoclonal protein. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is more closely associated with HVS than IgG, and among IgG subclass monoclonal proteins, IgG3 is most frequently associated with HVS. We herein report a 44-year-old woman with multiple myeloma (MM), HVS, and cryoglobulinemia. Her monoclonal protein and cryoglobulin were IgG1-lambda (λ). She developed HVS at a lower monoclonal protein level because of the properties of the IgG1-derived monoclonal protein and cryoglobulin. Our case highlights the fact that identifying the IgG subclass is useful in predicting the risk of complicating HVS.
