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

Cancer associated thrombosis (CAT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, highlighting an unmet clinical need to improve understanding of the pathophysiology of CAT. Multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with one of the highest rates of thrombosis despite widespread use of thromboprophylactic agents. The pathophysiology of thrombosis in MM is multifactorial and patients with MM appear to display a hypercoagulable phenotype with potential contributory factors including raised von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels, activated protein C resistance, impaired fibrinolysis, and abnormal thrombin generation. In addition, the toxic effect of anti-myeloma therapies on the endothelium and contribution to thrombosis has been widely described. Elevated VWF/factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels have been reported in heterogeneous cohorts of patients with MM and other hematological malignancies. In specific studies, high plasma VWF levels have been shown to associate with VTE risk and reduced overall survival. While the mechanisms underpinning this remain unclear, dysregulation of the VWF and A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease Thrombospondin type 1, motif 13 (ADAMTS-13) axis is evident in certain solid organ malignancies and correlates with advanced disease and thrombosis. Furthermore, thrombotic microangiopathic conditions arising from deficiencies in ADAMTS-13 and thus an accumulation of prothrombotic VWF multimers have been reported in patients with MM, particularly in association with specific myeloma therapies. This review will discuss current evidence on the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning thrombosis in MM and in particular summarize the role of VWF/FVIII in hematological malignancies with a focus on thrombotic risk and emerging evidence for contribution to disease progression.
