A Rare Cause Mimicking Pancreatic Cancer: Extramedullary Plasmacytoma.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2024. 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
Background: Secondary or metastatic tumors of the pancreas are exceedingly rare. This study aims to elucidate an uncommon etiology contributing to pancreatic masses: extramedullary plasmacytoma. Case Report: A 77-year-old male patient, undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, presented with jaundice and abdominal pain. Laboratory findings indicated cholestasis. Imaging techniques revealed a dilated biliary tree and a hypoechoic mass in the head of the pancreas. Endoscopic examination showed significant narrowing of the duodenal lumen with an infiltrative pattern in the duodenal wall. Biopsies were taken from the narrowed area, and percutaneous biliary drainage was performed in the radiology department. Histopathological analysis of the biopsies revealed features consistent with plasmacytoma, characterized by infiltration with atypical plasma cells and positivity for CD138 in immunohistochemistry. Conclusion: In cases where a patient with multiple myeloma presents with a pancreatic mass, it is imperative to consider the possibility of a pancreatic plasmacytoma as a potential diagnosis.
