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

backgroundMultiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignant plasma cell disease. We explored the role of RAB22A in exosome secretion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and immune regulation.

methodsWe obtained MM samples from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data sets. We downloaded the "IOBR" package, and used the "PCA" and "ssGSEA" algorithms to calculate the EMT scores and exosome scores. The "CIBERSORT" package was used to analyze the infiltration of immune cells. We extracted the exosomes of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) to verify the biological function of RAB22A.

resultsThe expression level of RAB22A in smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) and MM patients was significantly higher than that in normal people and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patients, and the expression level of RAB22A in relapse MM patients was significantly higher than that in newly diagnosed patients. The EMT scores and exosome scores of high RAB22A group were significantly higher than those of low RAB22A group, and the exosome scores of MSC in recurrent patients were significantly higher than those of newly diagnosed patients. In addition, the infiltration levels of monocyte, NK cells resting, eosinophils, T cells regulatory and T cells CD4 memory activated were positively correlated with RAB22A. After down-regulating the expression of RAB22A in MM-MSC, the secretion of exosomes decreased. Compared with the exosomes of MSC in si-RAB22A group, the exosomes in control group significantly promoted the proliferation of MM.

conclusionsRAB22A is a potential therapeutic target to improve the prognosis of MM, which is closely related to exosome secretion, EMT and immune cell infiltration.
