Non-POEMS osteosclerotic multiple myeloma: Clinical characteristics and differential diagnosis.
Review in Journal of bone oncology, 2024. 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
Osteosclerosis in multiple myeloma (MM) is typically associated with rare POEMS syndrome, characterized by polyneuropathy (P), organomegaly (O), endocrinopathy (E), M-protein (M), and skin changes (S). However, osteosclerosis in multiple myeloma (MM) without POEMS syndrome, defined as non-POEMS Osteosclerotic MM, is exceedingly rare. We report a 70-year-old man with rib pain, remarkably high bone mineral density and diffuse osteosclerosis. The diagnosis of non-POEMS osteosclerotic MM was confirmed by biopsy and aspiration of bone marrow through surgery. A literature review spanning from 1990 identified 12 cases of similar non-POEMS osteosclerotic MM, including 5 males and 7 females with a mean age of 59.7 ± 10.6 years. The non-POEMS osteosclerotic MM can be divided into two subtypes, the osteosclerotic lesion subtype and the diffuse osteosclerosis subtype. Absence of polyneuropathy and organomegaly are the main factors that differentiate non-POEMS osteosclerotic MM from POEMS. A hyperactive osteoblastic process might be the etiology of diffuse osteosclerosis. Further research is needed to understand its etiology and pathophysiology.
