Bortezomib-induced neuropathy in multiple myeloma manifesting as foot drop due to peroneal nerve palsy.

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
We present the case of a man in his 50s with multiple myeloma who developed foot drop after receiving bortezomib-dexamethasone combination chemotherapy. Diagnostic evaluations, including haematological parameters, nerve conduction studies and imaging, were performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of neuropathy. He was managed conservatively with analgesics and vitamin supplements, and bortezomib was temporarily withheld. The neuropathy gradually improved, and bortezomib was successfully reintroduced without recurrence of foot drop. Bortezomib-induced foot drop is a rare complication of bortezomib-based therapy in patients with multiple myeloma. Early recognition and intervention are crucial to minimise impact on quality of life. This case report emphasises the safe reintroduction of bortezomib post-neuropathy resolution, emphasising the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.
