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

Immunomodulatory agents (IMiD's) have become an important drug category in the treatment of multiple myeloma. The agents have a complex mechanism of action that influence the microenvironment in the bone marrow. The microenvironment is an essential promotor of disease progression and therefore important in targeting the disease. The article reviews mechanism of action and essential pathways of IMiD's that are important in disease treatment.
