Review in Clinical hematology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Approximately 90% of patients with multiple myeloma experience significant pain from osseous involvement during their lifetime. Untreated osseous involvement results in vertebral compression fractures, leading to negative consequences for quality of life. Vertebral augmentation procedures, including percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, offer better and faster pain control and likely lower morbidity compared with non-operative interventions. Our review provides an up-to-date summary of the indications, contraindications, timing, outcomes, and potential complications of vertebral augmentation procedures to guide practicing oncologists in effectively managing bone disease in patients with multiple myeloma.
