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

The acquisition of the cytogenetic abnormalities hyperdiploidy or translocations into the immunoglobulin gene loci are considered as initiating events in the pathogenesis of myeloma and were often assumed to be mutually exclusive. These lesions have clinical significance; hyperdiploidy or the presence of the t(11;14) translocation is associated with a favorable outcome, whereas t(4;14), t(14;16), and t(14;20) are unfavorable. Poor outcomes are magnified when lesions occur in association with other high-risk features, del17p and +1q. Some patients have coexistence of both good and poor prognostic lesions, and there has been no consensus on their risk status. To address this, we have investigated their clinical impact using cases in the Myeloma IX study (ISRCTN68454111) and shown that the coexistence of hyperdiploidy or t(11;14) does not abrogate the poor prognosis associated with adverse molecular lesions, including translocations. We have also used single-cell analysis to study cases with coexistent translocations and hyperdiploidy to determine how these lesions cosegregate within the clonal substructure, and we have demonstrated that hyperdiploidy may precede IGH translocation in a proportion of patients. These findings have important clinical and biological implications, as we conclude patients with coexistence of adverse lesions and hyperdiploidy should be considered high risk and treated accordingly.
