A solitary lytic rib lesion mimicking primary Chest Wall malignancy as the initial presentation of multiple myeloma.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
Multiple myeloma is predominantly observed in the geriatric population and accounts for approximately 10% of all hematologic malignancies. It typically presents with multiple bone lesions and clinical features fulfilling the CRAB criteria (hyperCalcemia, Renal failure, Anemia, and Bone involvement). Herein, we present the case of an 82-year-old patient who presented with a solitary lytic rib lesion in the left hemithorax. The patient exhibited only bone pain among the CRAB features, and systemic radiological evaluation revealed no additional lesions. The initial clinical impression was that of a primary malignancy of the thoracic wall. A diagnosis of multiple myeloma was confirmed based on the histopathological evaluation of both the solitary lytic rib lesion and bone marrow samples.
