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

Multiple myeloma patients are recognized to have a higher risk of venous thrombosis. The cause of this could be attributed to several risk factors, such as circulating prothrombotic microparticles, disease-specific variables, and alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis factors. Recent research has revealed that these individuals also experience greater arterial thrombosis, including acute myocardial infarction and stroke. In this case report, we present the clinical profile and management of a 42-year-old patient who presented with signs and symptoms of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The aim of this case report is to highlight a rare clinical presentation and diagnostic workup in a patient with multiple myeloma. Additionally, we discuss the possible factors provoking the development of DVT as a first presentation before treatment initiation and their possible mechanisms.
