Intracranial multiple myeloma masquerading as subdural hematoma: illustrative cases.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 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
backgroundIntracranial involvement in multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare clinical presentation, often mimicking other conditions such as subdural hematoma (SDH) and resulting in poor prognosis. OBSERVATIONS: This case series highlights 2 older female patients, one with a prior diagnosis of MM, who developed subdural masses resembling SDH. Both cases were associated with significant cerebral edema and mass effect. Biopsies confirmed plasma cell neoplasms, and both patients underwent tailored treatment, including corticosteroids, radiation therapy, and systemic chemotherapy. The patients showed clinical and radiographic improvement posttreatment. LESSONS: These cases underscore the importance of maintaining a broad differential in patients with subdural collections, particularly if associated with significant vasogenic edema or in those with a history of MM. Nonoperative management is effective, despite mass effect. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25347.
