To b(ortezomib) or not to be: the stroma's the thing.
Article in The Journal of pathology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib has been widely used to treat patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, some patients show primary or secondary resistance. In recent work published in The Journal of Pathology, Beyar-Katz et al demonstrate that bortezomib treatment stimulates a host inflammatory response, which in turn promotes MM cell migration, viability, and proliferation. These effects appear to be mediated by pro-inflammatory M1-like stromal macrophages partly via secretion of cytokine IL-16. These unexpected findings imply that the binary M1/M2 definition of macrophages may not accurately describe the complexity and heterogeneity of macrophages associated with MM tumour growth and progression, and further suggest that bortezomib treatment stimulates host-driven tumour-promoting activity in addition to its cytotoxic activity, thus leading to potential bortezomib resistance in MM patients. Understanding the underlying mechanisms may identify novel targets to overcome or prevent bortezomib resistance. Copyright © 2016 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
