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 a plasma cell malignancy, which grows in the bone marrow (BM). The major population of cells in the BM is represented by neutrophils and they can form neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). Here, we investigated whether multiple myeloma cells induce NET formation and whether targeting this process would delay multiple myeloma progression. We demonstrated that murine and human multiple myeloma cells stimulate citrullination of histone H3 and NET formation by neutrophils and that this process is abrogated by pharmacological targeting of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) with a novel-specific small molecule inhibitor BMS-P5. Administration of BMS-P5 to multiple myeloma-bearing mice delays appearance of symptoms and disease progression. Taken together, our data demonstrate that targeting PAD4 may be beneficial for treatment of multiple myeloma.
