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

Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) or lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is a B-cell malignancy characterized by lymphoplasmacytic cells in the bone marrow that secrete high amounts of immunoglobulin (Ig) M. The large pentameric structure of IgM leads to a variety of unique complications in WM, such as hyperviscosity syndrome, cryoglobulinemia and sensory neuropathy. Furthermore, malignant cells can infiltrate the central nervous system and lead to a variety of neurological complications, also known as Bing Neel Syndrome. Because of the unique pathophysiology of WM and these complications, their diagnostic work up and treatment regimens vary greatly. Given the rarity of the disease and their complications, there are little to no randomized controlled trials regarding treatments of these complications and, therefore, suggested treatment regimens are usually based on observational studies. In this case series, we will present three cases of WM, each with their own unique complication, and discuss the pathophysiology along with current and future treatment options for each of the complications presented.
