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

Certain immunophenotypes in multiple myeloma (MM), including CD56 and CD117, have been reported to be associated with overall survival (OS). However, previous reports have ignored the impact of different treatment regimens and the long-term prognostic value of immunophenotyping in MM when treated with novel agents, including thalidomide and bortezomib, in the absence of transplantation for autologous stem cell transplantation and allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. To further understand the long-term prognostic value of immunophenotyping in MM, when treated with bortezomib combined with thalidomide-based regimens without transplantation, 80 patients who were newly diagnosed between January 2007 and December 2015, were analyzed retrospectively. In contrast to previous studies, no significant survival time difference was observed between CD56+/CD117+ and CD56-/CD117- groups. Multivariate analysis suggested that human leukocyte antigen-antigen D-related (HLA-DR)+ was independently associated with shorter OS and progression-free survival (PFS), while CD117+ was an independent prognostic factor for decreased PFS. In addition, the myeloma prognostic index (MPI), defined by HLA-DR+, age ≥65 years and international staging system stage III, was suitable for risk stratification of patients treated with novel agents for OS and PFS. The results of the current study suggested that HLA-DR+ patients had a shorter OS and PFS and CD117+ patients had shorter PFS. HLA-DR+ or CD117+ was sufficient to affect survival. Evaluating these markers may reveal valuable prognostic factors for MM in patients receiving bortezomib combined with thalidomide-based regimens without autologous stem cell transplantation and allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation). MPI may describe an accessible tool to predict the prognosis of patients with MM.
