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

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have up to a 20-fold increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with the general population, with most events occurring within the first 6 months of diagnosis. Treatment with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) is a strong risk factor for VTE in MM. In a meta-analysis of 2 large, randomized trials comparing anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis vs placebo in ambulatory patients with cancer at high risk of VTE based on a validated risk score, the risk of VTE decreased without increasing the risk of major bleeding. However, few patients with MM participated in these trials (1.1%). Initial guidance for risk-stratifying patients with MM resulted in persistent rates of VTE >10% and highlighted the need for improved VTE risk stratification in patients with MM. Three validated risk scores are now available to quantify risk of VTE in patients with MM: SAVED, IMPEDE VTE, and PRISM scores. Using best available data, thromboprophylaxis should be strongly considered in patients with MM assessed as high risk for VTE, especially newly diagnosed patients receiving IMiD-based combination therapies. However, prospective studies are needed to further validate available models and identify the optimal thromboprophylactic agent for each VTE risk category.
