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.

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.

Abstract

objectivesThis study aimed to provide real-world data on the characteristics and treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) at the time of death.

methodsThe study was a retrospective patient chart review across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK during 2016, and included patients who had died in the 3 months before the index date.

resultsData from 786 patients were reviewed. At the time of death, 37% of patients were receiving active treatment, 12% were in a treatment-free interval and 51% were receiving only supportive care. Death before and during active first-line treatment was not uncommon (6% and 24% of patients, respectively) but these deaths were often not solely due to disease progression; factors such as renal failure and infection frequently played a role (in 30% and 20% of patients at first-line, respectively). Most deaths at later lines were due to progressive disease. Cox model results suggested that early deaths were associated with advanced disease stage, high-risk cytogenetics and poor response and relapse profiles.

conclusionsThese real-world data could be used to help develop strategies for improving survival in patients with MM and to support management tailored to the stage of disease.
