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

Plasma cell myelomas (PMs) have a poor prognosis. Cancer-testis (CT) antigens are immunogenic proteins, representing potential targets for tumor vaccination strategies. The expression of the CT antigens GAGE, MAGE-A4, MAGE-C1/CT-7, and NY-ESO-1 was investigated on paraffin-embedded bone marrow biopsies from 219 PM and 8 monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patients. The frequency and prognostic impact of these CT antigens were compared with known morphological prognostic markers (i.e. Mib1 labeling index) and the presence of the translocations t(4;14)(p16.3; q32) and t(11;14)(q13;q32). We show that MAGE-C1/CT-7 is the most prevalent CT antigen, expressed in 57% of PMs in a high percentage of tumor cells. While MAGE-C1/CT-7 was absent in non-malignant plasma cells, plasma cells of patients with MGUS did express MAGE-C1/CT-7, but no other CT antigens. MAGE-C1/CT-7 was more frequently expressed in PMs with an elevated proliferation rate (Mib1 >10%) compared to PMs with a low proliferation rate (Mib1 <or=10%, 71%versus 29%, P < 0.001) and correlated with overall survival, depending on its subcellular distribution. PMs with pure cytoplasmic MAGE-C1/CT-7 expression showed a better prognosis (48 months versus 33 months, P < 0.05) than PMs with combined nuclear-cytoplasmic or nuclear expression only. Thus, expression of MAGE-C1/CT-7 in patients with monoclonal gammopathies represents a predictor of outcome and overt malignant transformation.
