Review in Nature reviews. Clinical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03421132 (The Terry Fox Pan-Canadian Multiple Myeloma Molecular Monitoring Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 62 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have improved substantially in the past decade, with improvements in both progression-free survival and overall survival. Many patients are now achieving a complete response to treatment, and consequently highly sensitive assays are needed for detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with MM. Results of multicolour flow cytometry and deep-sequencing studies suggest that among patients achieving a complete response, MRD-negative status is associated with significant improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival. Despite the increasing need for MRD testing in patients with MM, considerable heterogeneity in techniques for MRD detection hinders the clinical interpretation of their results. The criteria used to define MRD, strengths and weaknesses of the major types of tests (flow cytometry versus molecular testing), and the optimal sample type (bone marrow aspirate versus peripheral blood) are all unresolved dilemmas in MRD testing. This Review presents an overview of the various techniques for MRD detection in patients with MM. In addition, this article discusses challenges and opportunities for the routine use of MRD testing, possible future directions for clinical trials and implications for drug approval processes.
