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

purpose of the reviewThis review aims to explore the pivotal role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as epigenetic regulators in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM). Additionally, we have portrayed the dual role of lncRNAs in the epigenetic landscape of MM pathobiology. RECENT

findingsIn MM, lncRNAs are pivotal for proliferation, progression, and drug resistance by acting as miRNA sponges, regulating mRNA activity through microRNA recognition elements (MREs). Epigenetic modifications in lncRNAs influence gene expression, with some like MEG3, GAS5, CRNDE, and H19 showing promoter hypermethylation, while MALAT1 exhibits hypomethylation. Targeting lncRNAs using siRNA, ASO, CRISPR-Cas9, or small molecule inhibitors shows promise in preclinical studies, alongside the potential benefits of epigenetic-based therapies such as DNMTi and HDACi. Clinical trials combining epigenetic modifiers with standard chemotherapy show encouraging results, especially in relapsed/refractory MM. The key finding of the studies highlighted in the review paves the way for understanding the epigenetic role of lncRNAs in MM disease progression and biology. In addition, the novel therapeutic strategies that have shown promising results have been highlighted. The adoption of the epigenetic landscape into therapeutics in addition to existing treatment strategies may increase the efficacy of treatment approaches.
