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

Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common hematologic malignancy, is characterized by the clonal expansion of myeloma cells and accumulation of genetic lesions. MM progression is accompanied by increased aggressiveness and drug resistance. Even the goal of "cure" remains hard to reach for most patients, advances in diagnosis and treatment have allowed some to achieve durable remissions and transition to plateau phase. Single-cell sequencing, with its powerful ability to analyze cellular heterogeneity and molecular patterns at ground-breaking resolution, is informative for deciphering tumors and their microenvironment. In this review, we summarize the new insights of studies facilitated by emerging single-cell sequencing into clonal evolution, myeloma-supported microenvironment transformation, epigenetic changes, and novel prognostic and therapeutic strategies for MM, revealing the key mechanisms underlying MM progression and the direction of future efforts. With the continuous expansion of the research scope and optimization of related technologies, single-cell sequencing is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the biology and evolutionary dynamics of MM and contribute to the radical and precise improvement of treatment.
