The role of nutrition and gut microbiome in the progression of multiple myeloma and its precursor disease.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, characterized by unregulated monoclonal proliferation in the bone marrow. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are premalignant conditions that can progress to MM. Identifying etiological risk factors for MM and its precursor diseases is crucial for prevention. Obesity, diet, vitamin D levels, and gut microbiota alterations have been identified as lifestyle factors affecting MM and MGUS risk. Upon disease onset, treatment strategies aim to reduce disease burden, enhance prognosis, and optimize patients' quality of life. Nutrition and body weight have been shown to affect disease progression and treatment outcomes. MM patients often present with vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folate deficiencies, which worsen disease prognosis. High body mass index is linked to increased death rates among MM patients and an increased risk of MGUS transformation to MM. Gut microbiota has also been associated with disease progression and response to treatment. This literature review aims to summarize the available evidence regarding the impact of nutrition and nutritional status on MM patients beyond prevention, highlighting the significance of gut microbiome and dysbiosis in MM progression.
