Whole-body MRI for a patient with progressive multiple myeloma.
Article in BJR case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Multiple Myeloma represents a plasma cell disorder that can result in hallmark bony destructive change in addition to other signs of myelomatous disease. Imaging often helps in establishing the diagnosis and staging the patient. There are several different imaging modalities that can provide different levels of insight into the disease extent. We report a unique case of multiple myeloma where the progressive nature of the patient's disease highlights the strengths and limitations of the different imaging approaches. Whole-body MRI represents a noncontrast imaging technique that directly images the bone marrow space, allowing for disease detection that can precede the onset of cortical and trabecular destructive changes. In so doing, whole-body MRI provides a level of insight that far exceeds traditional plain films and even CT. Using the findings from many different imaging modalities (plain films, CT, PET-CT, and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging), we will discuss how imaging can help clinicians to better assess the patient's disease burden and complement the foundations of traditional disease monitoring (serology, histopathology from biopsy, direct clinical exam, and observation).
