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

BRAF V600E mutations are detected in 3%-10% of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and are associated with more aggressive disease, higher frequency of extramedullary growth and shorter survival. Monotherapy with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib has been disappointing in MM. In patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma, MEK and BRAF inhibition has been a successful approach. Here we describe a very good partial response and possible mechanisms of resistance to a combination of the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and the MEK inhibitor trametinib in a patient with BRAF V600E-mutant refractory MM.
