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

Amino acid metabolic remodeling is a hallmark of cancer, driving an increased nutritional demand for amino acids. Amino acids are pivotal for energetic regulation, biosynthetic support, and homeostatic maintenance to stimulate cancer progression. However, the role of phenylalanine in multiple myeloma (MM) remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that phenylalanine levels in MM patients are decreased in plasma but elevated in bone marrow (BM) cells. After the treatment, phenylalanine levels increase in plasma and decrease in BM. This suggests that changes in phenylalanine have diagnostic value and that phenylalanine in the BM microenvironment is an essential source of nutrients for MM progression. The requirement for phenylalanine by MM cells exhibits a similar pattern. Inhibiting phenylalanine utilization suppresses MM cell growth and provides a synergistic effect with Bortezomib (BTZ) treatment
