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

clinical issueMultiple myeloma is a clonal B‑lymphocyte neoplasm of terminally differentiated plasma cells and accounts for approximately 10% of all hematologic malignancies. Reduction of bone mass, seen on computed tomography (CT) as focal osteolysis, or general osteopenia is mainly caused by tumor-induced resorption of bone. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsImaging methods are used in multiple myeloma to record the extent of various dimensions of the disease manifestations (damage to bone substance, bone marrow infiltration, extramedullary involvement) and the disease course. The aim of this review article is to summarize and outline the recommendations of the S3 guideline "Diagnostics, therapy and follow-up care for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance (MGUS) or multiple myeloma" in terms of radiographic imaging. APPRAISAL AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: The use of the conventional X‑ray skeletal status (Paris scheme) is obsolete. When a patient with symptomatic multiple myeloma is initially diagnosed, a whole-body CT should be performed to determine the extent of skeletal damage. The S3 guideline also regards CT as the first imaging modality in relapse and progression.
