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

The standard model of multiple myeloma (MM) relies on genetic instability in the normal counterparts of MM cells. MM-induced lytic bone lesions are considered as end organ damages. However, bone is a tissue of significance in MM and bone changes could be at the origin/facilitate the emergence of MM. We propose the tissue disruption-induced cell stochasticity (TiDiS) theory for MM oncogenesis that integrates disruption of the microenvironment, differentiation, and genetic alterations. It starts with the observation that the bone marrow endosteal niche controls differentiation. As decrease in cellular stochasticity occurs thanks to cellular interactions in differentiating cells, the initiating role of bone disruption would be in the increase of cellular stochasticity. Thus, in the context of polyclonal activation of B cells, memory B cells and plasmablasts would compete for localizing in endosteal niches with the risk that some cells cannot fully differentiate if they cannot reside in the niche because of a disrupted microenvironment. Therefore, they would remain in an unstable state with residual proliferation, with the risk that subclones may transform into malignant cells. Finally, diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives are provided.
