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

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of thalidomide combined with PAD regimen in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Methods: It was a Clinical comparative study. A total of 120 patients with MM were admitted at Beijing Aerospace General Hospital from September 2020 to June 2022 randomly divided into two groups, with 60 patients in each group. The study group was treated with thalidomide combined with a PAD regimen (bortezomib, doxorubicin and dexamethasone), while the control group with a PAD regimen alone. After treatment, the therapeutic effect, adverse drug reactions, bone metabolic markers such as serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) before and after treatment, as well as T-lymphocyte subsets CD3 Results: The total efficacy in the study group was 90%, which was significantly higher than 70% in the control group ( Conclusion: Thalidomide combined with a PAD regimen is definitely effective in patients with MM, it can obviously improve immune function and bone salt metabolism, with no increase in adverse reactions but high safety and effectiveness.
