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

IgM monoclonal gammopathies such as IgM myeloma and Waldenström macroglobulinaemia are distinct haematological conditions; however, differentiating between these entities can often present as a challenge.In this review, we explore the challenging diagnosis and treatment of IgM myeloma in a patient presenting with unexplained macrocytic anaemia, elevated serum protein and IgM levels in the absence of t(11;14) and lytic bone lesions that are classically associated with the diagnosis of IgM myeloma. The diagnosis was established based on 40% monoclonal plasma cell population on a bone marrow biopsy, gain of 1q21 on fluorescence in situ hybridisation, cyclin D1 positivity and absence of MYD88 mutation.
