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

Multiple myeloma is characterized by a monoclonal neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells. This pathology can manifest as skeletal-related events (SREs), such as bone pain. However, such events are extremely rare in the mandibular condyle. We describe the case of an 82-year-old woman who presented to her dentist with occlusal pain in the right temporomandibular joint. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) was diagnosed and treated using lifestyle modification. However, the pain did not subside, and she was referred to our department. On auscultation, crepitations were heard in the temporomandibular joint. Computed tomography showed an osteolytic lesion in the right mandibular condyle and cancellous bone loss in various locations. Abnormal
