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

We aimed at assessing the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients with multiple myeloma. We enrolled 153 patients with multiple myeloma at initial diagnosis. All patients underwent neurological examination and nerve conduction study. Patients with suspected pure small fiber neuropathy underwent skin biopsy. Of the 153 patients included in this study, 7.2 % had a multiple myeloma-related neuropathy. All patients suffered from a distal symmetric sensory peripheral neuropathy, associated with age (P = 0.04). Our study on prevalence rate of multiple myeloma-related peripheral neuropathy might provide a basis for improving the clinical management of this condition.
