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

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) survival has greatly improved in recent decades. MM is usually diagnosed at a median age of 66-70 years. MM patients do not necessarily die from primary cancer, so cardiovascular health may be a key factor threatening long-term survival. This study was designed to explore the cardiovascular disease mortality (CVM) trends in MM patients and compare them with those in the general population. Methods: In total, 88,328 MM patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975-2016) were included. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were used to assess CVM risk. Results: The CVM risk was significantly higher in MM patients than in the general population (SMR, 1.84 (95% CI, 1.78-1.89)). MM patients had the highest CVM SMR, at 2.62 (95% CI, 2.49-2.75), in the first year after diagnosis, and it decreased over the follow-up period. Over the study period, the incidence of CVM continued to decrease in MM patients diagnosed at age 65-74 (APC, -1.2% (95% CI, -1.9% to -0.4%)) and ⩾75 years (APC, -1.9% (95% CI, -2.6% to -1.2%)) but not younger. CVM was the second-most common cause of death in patients ⩾75 years. In only MM case analyses, male sex, Black race, older age at diagnosis, and earlier year of diagnosis were poor prognostic factors for heart-specific mortality. Conclusion: The CVM risk in MM patients was significantly higher than that in the general population. To improve survival, cardiovascular health should receive attention upon diagnosis.
