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

The bispecific antibody talquetamab demonstrated substantial responses in heavily pretreated relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in the global phase 1/2 MonumenTAL-1 study. This study, evaluated the safety and efficacy of talquetamab in Japanese patients with RRMM pretreated with a proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. The primary endpoints were frequency and type of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious AEs including dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The secondary endpoints were overall response (ORR; partial response or better), duration of, and time to response. At data cutoff, 15 patients had received subcutaneous talquetamab at three doses (Cohort 1: 135 µg/kg weekly [QW, n = 4]; Cohort 2: 400 µg/kg [QW, n = 5]; Cohort 3: 800 µg/kg [Q2W, n = 6]). No DLTs, deaths, or AE-related dose reductions/treatment discontinuation were observed. Common TEAEs were neutropenia (60.0%), lymphopenia (53.3%), and CRS (46.7%). TEAEs of clinical interest (all Grade ≤ 2) were dysgeusia, skin toxicity, nail disorder, and dry mouth. With an overall median follow-up of 9.0 months, the ORR was 60.0% (95% confidence interval 32.3%, 83.7%). Talquetamab showed substantial responses in Japanese patients with RRMM, consistent with the global MonumenTAL-1 study, supporting its potential as a new standard of care for Japanese RRMM patients.
