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, a plasma cell malignancy in the bone marrow, remains largely incurable with currently available therapeutics. In this study, we discovered that the activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) interacted with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and regulated myelomagenesis. ALCAM was a negative regulator of myeloma clonogenicity. ALCAM expression was positively correlated with patients' survival. ALCAM-knockdown myeloma cells displayed enhanced colony formation in the presence of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). BMSCs supported myeloma colony formation by secreted epidermal growth factor (EGF), which bound with its receptor (EGFR) on myeloma cells and activated Mek/Erk cell signaling, PI3K/Akt cell signaling, and hedgehog pathway. ALCAM could also bind with EGFR, block EGF from binding to EGFR, and abolish EGFR-initiated cell signaling. Hence, our study identifies ALCAM as a novel negative regulator of myeloma pathogenesis.
