Mosaic chromosomal alterations in hematopoietic cells and clinical outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma.
Article in Leukemia, 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.
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
Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) in hematopoietic cells increase mortality and risk of hematological cancers and infections. We investigated the landscape of mCAs and their clinical consequences in 976 patients with multiple myeloma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell support (ASCT) with median 6.4 years of follow-up. mCAs were detected in the stem cell harvest product of 158 patients (16.2%). Autosomal aberrations were found in 60 patients (6.1%) and affected all chromosomes. Loss of chromosome X was found in 51 females (12.7%) and loss of chromosome Y in 55 males (9.6%). Overall survival and progression were similar between carriers of autosomal mCAs and non-carriers. In contrast, female patients with loss of the X chromosome had longer overall survival (age-adjusted[a.a.] HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.32-0.93, p = 0.02), lower risk of progression (a.a. HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.35-0.87; p = 0.01), and better post-transplant response (higher degree of complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR)). The reason for this substantial effect is unknown. Additionally, myeloma clones in the stem cell product was confirmed by mCA analysis in the few patients with multiple mCAs (n = 12 patients). Multiple mCAs conferred inferior overall survival (a.a. HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.02-3.84; p = 0.04) and higher risk of myeloma progression (a.a. HR 3.36, 95% CI 1.67-6.81; p < 0.001), which is presumed to be driven by suspected myeloma contaminants.
