Multiple Myeloma: Treatment is Getting Individualized.
Review in Indian journal of hematology & blood transfusion : an official journal of Indian Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous disease with varied outcome. The novel agents including two major classes of drugs; the immunomodulatory drugs and the proteasome inhibitors with unprecedented response rates, have replaced conventional chemotherapy. With monoclonal antibodies on the horizon, outcome of this disorder will further improve. Progression in risk stratification systems has made it possible to predict the disease course as well as outcome in myeloma patients with disease categorization into low to high risk. In addition, detection of minimal residual disease by serum free light chain assay, flow cytometry, molecular techniques like polymerase chain reaction and positron emission tomography scan is playing an important role in modifying the treatment. An extensive research in the disease biology has improved our knowledge regarding interplay between myeloma cells and elements of the bone marrow microenvironment which contribute to sustain proliferation and survival as well as de novo drug resistance. Again, insight into the role of genetic and epigenetic interactions in MM has exposed new molecular targets. All these have opened the gateway for novel therapeutic strategies with focus on risk based individualized therapy.
