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

Gut microbiome influences tumorigenesis and tumor progression through regulating the tumor microenvironment (TME) and modifying blood metabolites. However, the mechanisms by which gut microbiome and blood metabolites regulate the TME in multiple myeloma (MM) remain unclear. By employing16S rRNA gene sequencing coupled with metagenomics and ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we find that Lachnospiraceae are high and phosphatidylcholine (PC) are low in MM patients. We further show that Lachnospiraceae inhibits PC production from MM cells and enhances cytotoxic CD8 T cell function. Mechanistically, PC promotes Sb9 mRNA maturation in MM cells by LIN28A/B via lysophosphatidic acid, thus enhances exosamal Sb9 production. Exosamal Sb9 then reduces GZMB expression by suppressing tumor protein p53 (TP53) UFMylation via the competitive binding of TP53 with the ubiquitin-fold modifier conjugating enzyme 1 in CD8 T cells. We thus show that Lachnospiraceae and PC may be potential therapeutic targets for MM treatment.
