Treatment of myeloma bone disease: When, how often, and for how long?
Review in Journal of bone oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The landscape of MM has changed dramatically in recent years. Several new and more effective treatments have been introduced that not only makes patients live longer but also brings them into a deeper remission. This makes the potential total exposure of bone protective treatment much higher but perhaps also less needed. New and more precise imagining techniques have been introduced making detection of bone disease more sensitive, and the introduction of SLiM-CRAB criteria have changed the parameters used in old clinical trials investigating treatment of MM bone disease. New data have also emerged investigating the effect of the RANKL inhibitor denosumab compared to zoledronic acid (ZOL). Randomized trials have investigated longer treatment durations, which becomes more relevant as patients now live longer. In addition in this review, data regarding interval between individual treatment, impact of remission status, new data in relation to rebound after discontinuation and of denosumab, as well as the rational for drug holidays before dental procedures will also be discussed.
