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 (MM) is an incurable B-cell malignancy that arises in the bone marrow (BM). The malignant cells within the BM have extensive interaction with the structural components of their microenvironment. It has been previously shown that the interactions between MM cells and the BM extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins contribute to drug resistance. To understand the underlying causes of adhesion-mediated drug resistance in MM, the components of human BM ECM available for interactions with MM cells must be characterized. We analyzed the expression and localization of fibronectin, laminin, and collagens I and IV in the core biopsies of normal donors and patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or MM. In addition, we compared the patterns of ECM expression in MM patients with low-, mid-, and high-level plasmacytosis of the BM. Although expression of laminin was the same for all groups tested, levels of fibronectin and collagen I were reduced in MM patients with high-level plasmacytosis. Expression of collagen IV in the BM of MGUS and MM patients was higher than in the BM from normal donors. Compared with the plasma cells isolated from the patients with low- and mid-level plasmacytosis, sorted CD138(+) plasma cells from MM patients with high-level plasmacytosis overexpressed collagen IV. Our findings show that, compared with normal controls, the ECM composition of the bone, endosteum, and BM is aberrant in patients with MM, further establishing ECM as a key player in the MM disease process.
