Uncommon Presentation of Solitary Plasmacytoma in the Nasal Cavity: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges.
Article in Cureus, 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
Extramedullary solitary plasmacytoma (SP) is an uncommon tumor and is even rare in the head and neck locations. Here, we report the case of an 82-year-old man admitted to our department for the management of nasal cavity SP. Radiological investigation showed a locally advanced tumor making the patient a non-candidate for surgery. The patient had undergone radiotherapy alone to a total dose of 50 Gy, with 2 Gy per fraction five days a week. After a follow-up of nine months, the tumor recurred, and the patient was managed in the internal medicine department. He received palliative chemotherapy with the cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone, and thalidomide protocol which resulted in a good response. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenges and treatment complexities of SP, particularly in rare locations such as the nasal cavity.
