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 remarkable genetic heterogeneity of multiple myeloma poses a substantial challenge for proper prognostication and clinical management of patients. Here, we introduce MM-PSN, the first multiomics patient similarity network of myeloma. MM-PSN enabled accurate dissection of the genetic and molecular landscape of the disease and determined 12 distinct subgroups defined by five data types generated from genomic and transcriptomic profiling of 655 patients. MM-PSN identified patient subgroups not previously described defined by specific patterns of alterations, enriched for specific gene vulnerabilities, and associated with potential therapeutic options. Our analysis revealed that co-occurrence of t(4;14) and 1q gain identified patients at significantly higher risk of relapse and shorter survival as compared to t(4;14) as a single lesion. Furthermore, our results show that 1q gain is the most important single lesion conferring high risk of relapse and that it can improve on the current International Staging Systems (ISS and R-ISS).
