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
Background: The nonrandom recurrence of chromosomal abnormalities in multiple myeloma (MM) raises the possibility that they play a role in the pathophysiology and development of the disease. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can identify a high frequency of certain abnormalities without the need for the proliferative and infiltrative index of malignant plasma cells required for conventional cytogenetic analysis. In this study, we describe the association between clinico-biological characteristics and chromosomal abnormalities in 30 Moroccan patients. Methods: The analysis of cytogenetic data, conventional and molecular, of 30 cases of MM, obtained from our previously cytogenetic study, and correlation of the results with the clinico-biological data of these patients. Results: The bone marrow of 5 of 21 patients (23 %) contained a chromosomally abnormal clone, and all karyotypes were complicated (>3 abnormalities). Interphase FISH (iFISH) has detected aberrations in 14 out of 30 (46 %) of the total cases. The proportion of plasma cells in the bone marrow was higher in patients with chromosomal abnormalities (median 29 %) ( Conclusion: Our research has shown that different subgroups of patients with MM can be classified based on the underlying genetic abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities (CA) may give the plasma cell a proliferative advantage, increasing the virulence of the disease and affecting overall survival.
