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

purposeThe study of rare diseases, such as multiple myeloma (MM), often experiences unique research hurdles that can delay or prevent lifesaving discoveries. HealthTree Cure Hub is a first-in-class software program designed to overcome these potential research hurdles.

methodsWe assessed whether HealthTree Cure Hub improved four commonly experienced research hurdles such as (1) small numbers of patient accrual to clinical trials and research studies, (2) shallow and isolated data sets, (3) high costs to answer research questions, and (4) lack of long-term follow-up patient data.

resultsAs of June 2021, HealthTree Cure Hub, with its unique portal features, has attracted 9,225 patients with MM and diverse demographic backgrounds. While completing an online health profile, patients shared comprehensive data, as well as provided consent to contribute data from electronic medical records. Portal use answered research questions using patient-driven real-world data. This also cultivated relationships with patients and established communication channels that enabled continual patient contact to allow for long-term follow-up.

conclusionThese results suggest that a patient-driven data capture tool such as HealthTree Cure Hub will help alleviate common research hurdles, which, in turn, will accelerate MM research, develop new hypotheses, and ultimately improve survival.
