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

Recent advances in plasma cell biology and molecularly-targeted therapy enable us to employ various types of drugs including immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, and immunotherapy. However, the optimal therapeutic strategies to introduce these drugs for heterogeneous patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have not yet been clarified. In the present study, we attempted to identify a new factor indicating poor prognosis in CD138+ myeloma cells using accumulated Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets from studies of MM and to assess the relationship between gene expression and survival using MAQC-II Project Myeloma (GSE24080). Five GEO datasets (GSE5900, GSE58133, GSE68871, GSE57317 and GSE16791) which were analyzed by the same microarray platform (GLP570) were combined into one MM database including various types of MM. However, we found that gene expression levels were quite heterogeneous. Hence, we focused on the differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) between newly-diagnosed MM and relapsed/refractory MM and found that the expression levels of more than 20 genes changed two-fold or more. Additionally, pathway analysis indicated that six pathways including Hippo signaling were significantly enriched. Then, we applied all DEGs and genes associated with core enrichment for GSE24080 to evaluate their involvement in disease prognosis. We found that nucleoporin 133 (NUP133) is an independent poor prognostic factor by Cox proportional hazard analysis. These results suggested that high expression of NUP133 could be useful when choosing the appropriate MM therapy and may be a new target of MM therapy.
