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) survival plots usually display steeper initial and shallower subsequent slopes reflecting differences in disease biology and likely prognostic factors (PF). S9321 trial was selected to determine PF operative at baseline and subsequent 3, 4, 5, and 7-year landmarks (LM-0, LM-3, LM-4, LM-5, and LM-7). With a median follow-up of 8.2 years, survival was similar in transplant and standard therapy arms, justifying data pooling. Median survival for 775 eligible patients is 48 months. According to proportional hazards models, seven of 12 investigated baseline variables retained independent significance for LM-0, of which only two (beta-2-microglobulin and age) extended out to LM-7; the remaining five comprised features of disease aggressiveness (lactate dehydrogenase, calcium, platelet count, C-reactive protein) and host co-morbidity (performance status). Our observations of LM dependency of PF can be exploited toward advancing myeloma therapy by stratifying patients according to whether early or late portions of the survival history are being targeted.
