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

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an aggressive cancer that originates from antibody-secreting plasma cells. Although genetically and transcriptionally well characterized, the aberrant gene regulatory networks that underpin this disease remain poorly understood. Here, we mapped regulatory elements, open chromatin, and transcription factor (TF) footprints in primary MM cells. In comparison with normal antibody-secreting cells, MM cells displayed consistent changes in enhancer activity that are connected to superenhancer (SE)-mediated deregulation of TF genes. MM cells also displayed widespread decompaction of heterochromatin that was associated with activation of regulatory elements and in a major subset of patients' deregulation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate pathway. Finally, building SE-associated TF-based regulatory networks allowed identification of several novel TFs that are central to MM biology. Taken together, these findings significantly add to our understanding of the aberrant gene regulatory network that underpins MM.
