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

Background: Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is rare life-threatening condition associated with a clonal plasma cell neoplasm. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical and biochemical features in patients with POEMS syndrome before and post-therapy. Methods: Characteristics of demographic information, underlying diseases, clinical manifestations, laboratory indicators, and imaging examination were retrospectively collected when diagnosed and post-therapy in the patients POEMS syndrome between 2018 and 2024. Results: Nineteen newly-diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients with POEMS syndrome were enrolled. The diagnosis of POEMS syndrome was re-analyzed and matched the diagnostic criteria updated in 2023. All patients presented the symptoms of polyneuropathy and positive for M-protein. Most patients suffered with hyperpigmentation ( Conclusion: Patients with POEMS syndrome had impaired liver and renal function, and effective therapy might partly repair the liver and renal dysfunction.
