FaMMily Affairs: Dissecting inherited contributions to multiple myeloma risk.
Review in Seminars in hematology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Etiological links to multiple myeloma (MM) remain poorly understood, though emerging evidence suggests a significant hereditary component. This review integrates current literature on inherited factors contributing to MM risk, synthesizing both epidemiologic and genomic data. We examine familial clustering patterns, assess genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that reveal common genetic variants linked to MM, and explore rare, high-penetrance variants in key susceptibility genes. Additionally, we advocate for routine germline screening in high-risk MM populations, particularly those with a strong family history of cancer, a personal history of cancer, or early-onset disease. By elucidating the inherited influences on MM predisposition, this review seeks to inform future research and refine risk assessment strategies in this population.
