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

Identifying check points in cell signal transduction pathways has led to the development of new cancer therapies; however, relatively few studies have determined the diagnostic and prognostic significance of analysing phosphorylated signaling proteins in patient blood and bone marrow (BM) samples. This is the first comprehensive phospho-flow study of both constitutive and cytokine-induced pSTAT3, pSTAT5, pAKT and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) expression in malignant plasma cells of patients with monoclonal gammopathies. In diagnostic BM samples from 65 patients with multiple myeloma (MM), interleukin (IL)-6-induced pSTAT3 proved to be a new and independent prognostic biomarker for improved survival. When combined with the International Staging System, 6 subgroups demonstrated stratified median survivals from 9 to 72 months (χ(2)=34.3; P<0.0001). In contrast, constitutive expression of pSTAT3, pSTAT5, pAKT and pERK did not assist the differential diagnosis nor determine prognosis. High pSTAT3 expression was dependent on existing CD45 expression and pSTAT5 appeared to regulate IgG production. Phospho-flow cytometry could be used to screen for personalized therapy, although the lack of clinical significance of constitutive pSTAT3 levels suggests that pSTAT3 blockade may not be clinically relevant in MM. This study has revealed novel prognostic biomarkers and insights into the biology of signaling pathways in patients with MM.
