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

objectivePlasma cell dyscrasias (PCDs) are disorders of plasma cells having in common the production of a monoclonal M-protein. They include a spectrum of conditions that may represent a natural progression of the same disease from monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance to asymptomatic and symptomatic multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. In PCDs, the immune system is actively suppressed through the secretion of suppressive factors and the recruitment of immune suppressive subpopulations. In this study, we examined the expression of two subpopulations of cells with immunosuppressive activity, monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and monocytes expressing latency-associated peptide (LAP), in patients with different PCDs and in healthy volunteers. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 27 consecutive patients with PCDs were included in this study. Nineteen healthy volunteers served as controls.

resultsWe observed a hierarchical correlation between disease activity and the presence of monocytes with immunosuppressive activity.

conclusionThese results suggest that MDSCs and monocytes expressing LAP have diverging roles in PCDs and may perhaps serve as biomarkers of tumor activity and bulk.
