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

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a collection of plasma cells in soft tissue tumors characterized by monoclonal plasma cells without systemic symptoms or evidence of bone disease. We present a case of SEP in a 49-year-old African American patient who presented with a slowly enlarging eyelid mass and underwent an excisional biopsy with ophthalmology before the diagnosis was confirmed by pathology in the absence of systemic symptoms or bone disease. Our review found only six confirmed cases of SEP of the eyelid described in the literature. In such cases, treatment is typically surgical excision or radiotherapy. Our patient was treated with radiation after the excision was incomplete. This case report adds another rare case of SEP of the eyelid to the literature.
