Atypical Presentation of Plasmacytoma in a Young Woman.
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
A 45-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, polycystic ovary syndrome, and a family history of triple-negative breast cancer presented to our primary care clinic with an incidental fifth rib mass on a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest. She reported mild intermittent left-sided chest pain and no constitutional symptoms. One year prior, she had a workup for a breast lesion, which was negative for breast cancer. Two months later, a repeat chest CT and a skeletal bone survey revealed an expansile and destructive left fifth rib lytic lesion concerning multiple myeloma (MM) but no other bony lesions. Serum protein electrophoresis revealed elevated IgA levels, free kappa light chains, and an M spike. A bone marrow biopsy showed an increase in plasma cells but with no clonality. A whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scan was negative for other bony lesions or other solid tumors. A CT-guided biopsy of the left fifth rib revealed a solitary plasmacytoma (SP). This case study portrays a rare site for an SP and raises clinical awareness for the condition in patients presenting with atypical chest pain. The patient underwent localized radiation therapy, which is the mainstay of treatment for patients with this condition. Patients should also be monitored periodically for progression to MM if diagnosed and treated for an SP.
