Bortezomib With High-dose Melphalan Conditioning Regimen in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients: Long-term Follow-up.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimAutologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard strategy after induction therapy for newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma. High-dose melphalan (HDM) conditioning has been the recommended treatment regimen for a long time. No other conditioning regimen has been proven safer and more effective. Because bortezomib has a synergistic effect with melphalan, bortezomib with HDM (Bor-HDM) as a conditioning regimen has shown favorable outcomes, improved complete response rates after ASCT, and no prolonged hematological toxicities. However, few studies have reported long-term follow-up data. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients receiving Bor-HDM conditioning, compared to those treated with HDM alone. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 36 patients newly diagnosed with transplant-eligible myeloma from 2008 to 2020. In total, 15 patients received a Bor-HDM regimen, while 21 patients received HDM as a conditioning regimen. The probabilities of PFS and OS were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method. All statistical analyses were performed using EZR software.
resultsAfter a median follow up of 77 months, no severe hematological toxicities were observed. The PFS and OS rates in the Bor-HDM group as compared with the HDM group were 0.762 vs. 0.60 (p=0.409) and 0.80 vs. 0.904 (p=0.476) respectively. No significant differences were observed between the two groups.
conclusionThese long-term results show that Bor-HDM is a safe and effective option for ASCT conditioning regimens.
