Gastrointestinal Bleeding Secondary to High-Dose Melphalan Pretreatment in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Was Associated with the Mode of Melphalan Administration.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to high-dose melphalan pretreatment in patients with multiple myeloma. Methods: Between 1 January 2016 and 31 October 2021, 26 patients with multiple myeloma after autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with high-dose melphalan pretreatment were recruited. They were assigned to either the oral administration group or the intravenous administration group according to the administration modes, or to either the gastrointestinal bleeding group or the nongastrointestinal bleeding group. Analyses were performed based on the differences in general gastrointestinal symptoms and hemorrhage between different administration modes and on the differences in the general gastrointestinal symptoms, platelet alterations, and the intestinal microecology before pretreatment between patients with and without gastrointestinal bleeding. Results: Of the 26 included patients, heavy secondary gastrointestinal bleeding was found in 6 patients with intravenous pretreatment. In patients given intravenous melphalan, those with gastrointestinal bleeding showed more pronounced general symptoms such as nausea and vomiting versus those without. There was no significant difference in platelet alterations between the two groups. Gastrointestinal bleeding was associated with more significant microecological disturbances than no bleeding. Conclusion: Gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to high-dose melphalan pretreatment in patients with multiple myeloma was associated with the mode of melphalan administration, adverse symptoms at pretreatment, and the intestinal microecology prior to pretreatment. Thus, improvement of the intestinal microecology prior to pretreatment and mitigation of adverse gastrointestinal symptoms during pretreatment may contribute to a lower incidence of secondary gastrointestinal bleeding and enhanced transplantation safety.
