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

backgroundConjunctival plasmacytoma is an exceedingly uncommon form of extramedullary manifestation of multiple myeloma, with only a handful of cases reported so far. CASE SUMMARY: A 66-year-old male of Indian origin with multiple myeloma presented with a 1-year history of progressive pink mass associated with itching in his left eye. Examination revealed a pinkish conjunctival mass with telangiectasia extending up to the temporal limbus, mimicking ocular surface squamous neoplasia. The patient underwent successful excision of the mass and amniotic membrane grafting. Histopathological examination after excision revealed plasma cell infiltration, confirming an unusual extramedullary manifestation of multiple myeloma. The patient was followed up for one year, with no evidence of recurrence.

conclusionThis case report highlights the importance of considering multiple myeloma in the differential diagnosis of ocular masses, particularly in patients with a known history of the disease. The presentation of a conjunctival mass in a patient with multiple myeloma is rare, but it is essential to recognize this possibility to ensure timely and appropriate management.
