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

backgroundFlower-shaped nuclei in plasma cells are rare in multiple myeloma. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on an 88-year-old male who presented with a mass lesion in the clavicular region. A biopsy of the mass revealed an increase in mature plasma cells with round nuclei. In contrast, a bone marrow examination showed increased plasma cells with flower-shaped nuclei. The patient tested negative for human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

conclusionsWhile multiple myeloma is known for intra-tumor heterogeneity, reports of morphological heterogeneity based on the site of tumor sampling are limited. In this case, the presence of plasma cells with flower-shaped nuclei enabled the identification of site-dependent morphological tumor heterogeneity.
