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

Multiple myeloma is an age-associated disease. In aged and multimorbid patients the diagnosis could be delayed due to the diversity of symptoms of this disease. Key diagnostic steps are the detection of an M protein as a surrogate of clonal plasma cell proliferation and evaluation of the CRAB criteria (hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, bone lesions). The individual prognosis and vulnerability to treatment complications can be assessed by use of validated scores. Following the introduction of many new drugs, vulnerable aged patients with multiple myeloma can also be very effectively treated with modern (partially chemotherapy-free) combination treatment and additional supportive care. Successful management of aged and multimorbid patients with multiple myeloma is not the sole task of the treating hemato-oncologist but also mostly requires the inclusion of general practitioners and geriatricians.
