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

The approach to the patient with relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma requires a careful evaluation of the results of previous treatments, the toxicities associated with it, and an assessment of prognostic factors. The majority of patients will have received prior therapy with drug combinations, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immune-modulatory agent. It is the physician's task to choose the right moment for the start of therapy and decide with the patient which goals need to be achieved. The choice of regimen is usually based on prior response, drugs already received, adverse effects, comorbidities of the patient, and expected efficacy and tolerability. Many double and triple drug combinations are available. In addition, promising new drugs such as pomalidomide, carfilzomib, and monoclonal antibodies are or will be available shortly, and other options can be explored in clinical trials. Finally, supportive care and palliative options need to be considered in later relapsed disease. Increasingly, it becomes important to consider the therapeutic options for the whole duration of the disease and integrate a systematic approach for the patient.
