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

backgroundRenal impairment (RI) is associated with poor survival in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Renal function recovery has been one of the main therapeutic goals in those patients.

methodsThe records from 393 newly diagnosed MM patients in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. RI was defined as an eGFR < 40 mL/min according to the novel IMWG criteria. RI patients were categorized based on their renal function at diagnosis: severe RI: eGFR < 30 mL/min, and mild RI: 30 mL/min ≤ eGFR <40 mL/min. We explored whether RI, and particularly severe RI, was an adverse prognostic factor for survival, and investigated the impact of renal function recovery on survival.

resultsSevere RI, hemoglobin <100 g/L, LDH ≥ 245 U/L, hyperuricemia, 1q21 amplification, and lack of novel agent treatment were associated with decreased overall survival (OS). Severe RI patients with renal response had a median OS of 27 months compared with 18 months for those patients without renal response (P = .030), but their median OS was still significantly lower than that for patients without severe RI, which was 51 months. In severe RI patients, the overall renal response rate in bortezomib-based regimens was significantly higher than that in nonbortezomib-based regimens.

conclusionOur results suggest that severe RI is an adverse prognostic factor for survival in newly diagnosed MM patients, restoration of renal function may improve survival, and bortezomib-based regimens may be the preferred treatment in patients with severe RI.
