Secondary Neuropathy From Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal Gammopathy, and Skin Changes (POEMS) Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with signs and symptoms of distal sensory polyneuropathy. Her initial electromyography and nerve conduction studies (EMG/NCS) showed a severe length-dependent neuropathy with uniform demyelination and secondary axonal changes. After extensive evaluation for secondary causes, she was ultimately found to have polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome. She underwent treatment with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, followed by an autologous stem cell transplant, and is now doing well with marked improvement in her function. This case emphasizes the importance of evaluating for secondary causes of polyneuropathy and provides a brief overview of POEMS syndrome.
