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

Despite remarkable progress in survival with the availability of novel agents, an overwhelming majority of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) relapse and the curability of MM remains limited. Genetically defined high-risk MM represents a subgroup with an aggressive disease course despite novel agents. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is a potentially curative option in MM that has several advantages including a tumor-free graft, and the potential for sustained immune-mediated disease control. However, historically high treatment-related mortality (TRM) and conflicting reports from prospective studies in the United States and European Union have limited the utilization of this modality. Meanwhile, newer preparative regimens, planned maintenance strategies and improvements in supportive care have led to a decline in TRM and better survival in recent years. The allo-SCT platform also provides additional options of immunotherapy at relapse including donor lymphocyte infusions, immunomodulatory drug maintenance and withdrawal of immune suppression. In this article, we provide an in-depth review of literature for allo-SCT and other immunotherapy options, as well as the authors' approach to using allo-SCT in MM.
