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

backgroundDespite significant advancements in multiple myeloma (MM) therapy, the highly heterogenous treatment response hinders reliable prognosis and tailored therapeutics. Herein, we have studied the clinical utility of miRNAs in ameliorating patients' management.

methodsmiRNA-seq was performed in bone marrow CD138+ plasma cells (PCs) of 24 MM and smoldering MM (sMM) patients to analyze miRNAs profile. CD138+ and circulating miR-25 levels were quantified using in house RT-qPCR assays in our screening MM/sMM cohort (CD138+ plasma cells n = 167; subcohort of MM peripheral plasma samples n = 69). Two external datasets (Kryukov et al. cohort n = 149; MMRF CoMMpass study n = 760) served as institutional-independent validation cohorts. Patients' mortality and disease progression were assessed as clinical endpoints. Internal validation was performed by bootstrap analysis. Clinical benefit was estimated by decision curve analysis.

resultsmiRNA-seq highlighted miR-25 of CD138+ plasma cells to be upregulated in MM vs. sMM, R-ISS II/III vs. R-ISS I, and in progressed compared to progression-free patients. The analysis of our screening cohort highlighted that CD138+ miR-25 levels were correlated with short-term progression (HR = 2.729; p = 0.009) and poor survival (HR = 4.581; p = 0.004) of the patients; which was confirmed by Kryukov et al. cohort (HR = 1.878; p = 0.005) and MMRF CoMMpass study (HR = 1.414; p = 0.039) validation cohorts. Moreover, multivariate miR-25-fitted models contributed to superior risk-stratification and clinical benefit in MM prognostication. Finally, elevated miR-25 circulating levels were correlated with poor survival of MM patients (HR = 5.435; p = 0.021), serving as a potent non-invasive molecular prognostic tool.

conclusionsOur study identified miR-25 overexpression as a powerful independent predictor of poor treatment outcome and post-treatment progression, aiding towards modern non-invasive disease prognosis and personalized treatment decisions.
