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

backgroundThrombosis is one of the complications in the clinical course of multiple myeloma (MM). Vascular endothelial cells and/or the hemostatic-coagulatory system are thought to play an important role in thrombosis of MM. In addition to melphalan-prednisone (Mel-P) therapy, several new therapeutic drugs such as lenalidomide or bortezomib have been developed and show effectiveness against MM. However, these new drugs also have risk of therapy-related thrombosis.

methodsWe assessed 103 MM patients and 30 healthy controls, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to evaluate five biomarkers: platelet-derived microparticles (PDMP), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), high mobility group box protein-1 (HMGB1), endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1). The effects of Mel-P, bortezomib, and lenalidomide on the plasma concentrations of these biomarkers were investigated.

resultsThe plasma concentrations of PDMP, PAI-1, HMGB1, EPCR, and sVCAM-1 were higher in MM patients than in healthy controls. Mel-P, bortezomib, and lenalidomide therapies all reduced biomarker levels after treatment. However, when only patients with higher levels of EPCR were compared, differences were seen between the three therapies in the elevation of PDMP, HMGB1, and PAI-1.

conclusionThese results suggest that both MM and therapies for MM can induce a hypercoagulable state. The elevated risk of thrombosis conferred by hypercoagulability increases patient morbidity and mortality. Attention should be paid to therapy-related thrombosis when new therapeutic regimens are selected for MM patients.
