Real-world evidence of Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (KRD) Scheme in patients with relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma.
Observational study in Annals of hematology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd) is still a widely used treatment option for patients with relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, there is limited real-world evidence. Here we evaluated the efficacy and safety of KRd in patients with RRMM treated following the standard clinical practice of the hospitals in the Catalan region. This was a retrospective, observational study. The objective response rate (ORR) according to IMWG criteria was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The study planned to include at least 100-150 patients. In total 194 patients were included. Median age was 64 years (range: 40-88) and 56% were male. All patients had received bortezomib. Additionally, 89 patients (46%) had received thalidomide and 29 (15%) lenalidomide. The ORR was 73% (95% CI: 66-79), with 72 patients (37%) having ≥ CR. The ORR was influenced by ISS score, number of previous treatments and exposure to lenalidomide. The median PFS was 26 months and 2-years OS rate 70%. The ISS stage and LDH levels were independent prognostic factors of survival. In conclusion, the KRd scheme led to a good effectiveness comparable safety profile to the phase III clinical trial in patients with RRMM.
