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

Novel agents are increasingly used during induction therapy for multiple myeloma (MM), but there is concern about their potential impact on stem cell mobilization. Regimens containing either thalidomide or cyclophosphamide have little or no impact on stem cell collection. In this retrospective review of 136 patients with newly diagnosed MM, we show that the combination of thalidomide and oral CY with dexamethasone (CTD) during induction therapy impaired stem cell mobilization substantially. Compared with VAD (vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone) and a VAD-like induction regimen, the stem cell collection yield after CTD was decreased by 49% (median 5.0 vs 9.8 × 10(6) CD34+cells/kg, P<0.001). Following CTD, more patients failed to mobilize enough stem cells for one (25.4 vs 5.8%, P=0.002) or two (39.4 vs 15.9%, P=0.002) transplants. These results demonstrate that the combination of thalidomide and oral CY impairs stem cell mobilization and indicate that drugs with no previously reported relevant effect on stem cell mobilization can have a substantial impact when given in combination.
