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

introductionTo evaluate the response and the correlation between survival and prognostic factors in 32 patients with multiple myeloma.

methodWe recruited 32 patients (18 men and 14 women) with mean age 59 years old who were diagnosed with multiple myeloma that were treated with surgery (n = 21) and without surgery (n = 11). 9 patients underwent hemiarthroplasty, 14 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation and 4 patients underwent spinal decompression and posterior pedicular instrumentation from January 2012 to December 2017. In this group, there were 6 patients who underwent more than one surgeries. Patients were classified using the International Staging System (ISS) for multiple myeloma by evaluated albumin and β

resultsThe mean follow up period for 32 patients was 30.2 months (range, 3-65 months) with 7 patients in ISS stage I, 22 patients in ISS stage II and 3 patients in ISS stage III. The median survival duration was 28 months (95% CI). We documented the median survival for ISS stage II disease was 29 months, stage III disease 6 months and stage I disease 16 months with the median age of ISS stage I, II, and III disease was 65, 59, 60 years respectively. Survival correlation with ISS stage (p = 0.009), the hemoglobin level (p = 0.772), and the calcium level (p = 0.926).

conclusionsThe survival rate was lower in patients with higher ISS stage for this disease. Survival rate seems to be better among younger patients than in older ones even with lower ISS stage of this disease.
