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

objectivesThe long-term clinical characteristics, response to therapy, and survival in patients with immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma (MM) were investigated.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted that included 68 patients treated in the last 10 years, 37 of whom received bortezomib only (bortezomib group), 13 of whom received bortezomib and underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (bortezomib + ASCT group), and 18 of whom received conditional chemotherapy (non-bortezomib group).

resultsThe ratio of males to females was 44:24, and the median age was 56.5 years. The overall response rate of each group was 91.9, 77.8, and 100%, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 24 and 15.5 months, respectively, among the 68 patients. The median OS of each group was 23, 21.5, and 27 months, respectively. The median PFS of each group was 18, 12, and 24 months, respectively. The 3- and 5-year OS were 64 and 45%, respectively, and the 3- and 5-year PFS were 39 and 13%, respectively, among the 68 patients. Cox regression showed that the percentage of bone marrow plasmacytosis was significantly associated with OS (p = 0.038).

conclusionsThe survival of IgD patients is shorter than that of other MM patients. Treatment strategies with bortezomib followed by stem cell transplantation may boost the response rate and improve survival.
