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

Recent studies have suggested that c-Myc over-expression may be a factor indicating poor prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM), although c-Myc gene-related abnormalities, including translocation and gene amplification, have not been fully investigated in the novel agent era. Additional chromosome 8 may be considered as aggressive disease in the 1990s. To clarify the impact of these aberrations, we retrospectively analyzed newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) and relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) with bortezomib and dexamethasone induction therapy. In the present study, the high-risk group was defined as having at least one of the following present: non-hyperdiploidy, IgH/FGFR3, and del p53. Forty NDMM cases were analyzed. At the median follow-up duration of 14.1 months, 14 RRMM were recognized. The proportions of patients in the high-risk, c-Myc gene-related aberrations, and additional chromosome 8 groups at diagnosis were 45.5, 22.5, and 10 %, respectively. The proportions of patients who developed RRMM in the high-risk, c-Myc gene-related aberrations, and additional chromosome 8 groups were 41.7, 77.7, and 50 %, respectively. Furthermore, patients with c-Myc gene-related abnormalities tended to exhibit inferior progression-free survival (PFS), and those with c-Myc gene-related abnormalities and/or additional chromosome 8 showed statistically shorter PFS. Therefore, c-Myc gene-related abnormalities and additional chromosome 8 may be related to a poorer prognosis.
