Surgical Treatment after Radiotherapy for Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Cervical Spine: A Case Report.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2026. 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
Solitary plasmacytoma is a hematologic malignancy in which about 50% of cases progress to multiple myeloma within 10 years. Local radiation therapy is effective for solitary plasmacytoma treatment, but there are cases of spinal cord paralysis due to osteolytic pathological fractures in the spine. Here, we report a 63-year-old male with spinal cord injury caused by pathologic fracture progression after radiotherapy. A 63-year-old male presented with neck pain and left hemiplegia. Imaging studies revealed a pathological fracture of the C5 vertebral body, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma. Radiation therapy temporarily improved symptoms, but progressive quadriplegia developed 2 months later. Cervical spinal cord compression due to an additional vertebral bone fracture was confirmed. Aggressive lesionectomy and fixation using simultaneous anterior and posterior combined approaches were performed. Postoperatively, paralysis completely recovered. No local recurrence or transition to multiple myeloma was observed even after 7 years of follow-up at age 70. Surgical treatment may be effective for spinal cord injury associated with pathologic fracture progression after radiotherapy for solitary plasmacytoma.
