Morbidity burden in survivors of multiple myeloma who underwent autologous transplantation: A Bone Marrow Transplantation Survivor Study.
Article in Cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAutologous blood or bone marrow transplantation (aBMT) is considered the standard of care for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Significantly improved survival necessitates an understanding of the morbidity burden borne by the growing survivor population.
methodsThe authors evaluated severe and/or life-threatening chronic health conditions (CHCs) and subsequent neoplasms (SNs) in patients with MM who were treated with aBMT using the Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor Study. A total of 630 study participants had undergone aBMT for MM at 1 of 3 BMT centers, had survived ≥2 years after aBMT, and were aged ≥18 years at the time of survey completion. Survivors of aBMT identified 289 nearest-age siblings to constitute an unaffected comparison group. Scoring of CHCs was based on version 5 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events to determine severity (with grade 3 indicating serious and grade 4 indicating life-threatening).
resultsThe 10-year cumulative incidence of any grade 3 to 4 CHC among survivors of aBMT was 57.6 ± 3.2%. Survivors of MM were found to be at 40% higher odds of developing grade 3 to 4 CHCs when compared with siblings (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.0-1.9). Among SNs, 96% were solid tumors, yielding a 10-year cumulative incidence of 13.6% ± 2.5%. Pre-aBMT exposure to cyclophosphamide (hazard ratio [HR], 3.5; 95% CI, 1.5-8.1) and immunomodulatory drugs (HR, 3.9; 95% CI, 1.5-10.1) were associated with an increased risk of solid tumors. Melanoma (10-year cumulative incidence: 3.3% ± 1.2%) and squamous cell carcinoma (10-year cumulative incidence: 5.1% ± 1.8%), were the most common SNs. Pre-aBMT exposure to cyclophosphamide (HR, 6.02; 95% CI, 1.4-26.1) and immunomodulatory drugs (HR, 7.9; 95% CI, 0.9-68.5) was associated with an increased risk of melanoma.
conclusionsThe 10-year cumulative incidence of severe and/or life-threatening CHCs was found to approach 60% in long-term survivors of MM, with solid SNs constituting a large morbidity burden. The current study has provided evidence supporting the close monitoring of survivors to manage morbidity.
