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

purposeThe aim of the present study was to evaluate CD105 tissue marker in the bone marrow (BM) of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. CD105 was evaluated using immunohistochemical method. An effort was made to correlate this marker with BM microvascular density (MVD) along with other known markers of angiogenesis in order to evaluate its clinical significance.

methodsBM MVD was estimated by CD31. CD105 in BM was estimated by immunohistochemical method in 54 newly diagnosed patients with MM. Circulating levels of known angiogenic factors such as basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) and soluble CD105 (sCD105) were measured by ELISA in the same group of patients. All these factors were also measured in 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

resultsWe found that CD105 MVD, along with the expected CD31 MVD, and serum levels of sCD105 and bFGF were increased, also in parallel with disease stage, and all were decreased after effective treatment. Moreover, CD105 MVD correlated with all the aforementioned markers of angiogenesis.

conclusionsOur results indicated that CD105 MVD is following the behavior of CD31 MVD in MM, suggesting being a valid marker of BM neoangiogenesis in MM. Its prognostic impact remains to be proven.
