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

Immunophenotypic remission (IR) is a strong prognostic factor in myeloma patients. The combination of IR and conventional CR was retrospectively evaluated in 66 patients after allografting. IR was defined as the absence of monoclonal plasma cells in BM aspirates by multiparameter flow cytometry. Conditioning was non-myeloablative in 55 patients; reduced-intensity in 10 and myeloablative in 1 patient. The allograft was given upfront in 35/66 (53%) patients. After a median follow-up of 7.1 years, 24 patients achieved both CR and IR (CR/IR group), 21 achieved IR but not CR with persistence of a urine/serum M-component (no CR/IR group) and 21 did not achieve either CR or IR (no CR/no IR group). Median OS and EFS were 'not reached' and 59 months in the CR/IR group; 64 and 16 months in the no CR/IR; and 36 and 6 months in the no CR/no IR, respectively (P<0.001). Cumulative incidence of extramedullary disease was 4.4% in the CR/IR, 38.1% in the no CR/IR and 14.3% in the no CR/no IR groups, respectively, at 4 years (P<0.001). IR was a valid tool to monitor residual disease after allografting, and allowed definition of a cohort of patients at higher incidence of extramedullary relapse.
