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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive relevance of CD27 and CD117 expression and the prognostic value in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 160 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital (2016-2023), evaluating CD27 (TNF receptor family member regulating plasma cell differentiation) and CD117 (c-KIT proto-oncogene product mediating hematopoietic cell survival) expression patterns via pretreatment flow cytometry. Patients were stratified by CD27/CD117 membrane positivity to assess their combined prognostic significance on disease progression, with survival outcomes tracked through standardized clinical surveillance protocols.
resultsThe CD27 negative cohort demonstrated severe disease burden, evidenced by elevated β2-MG, increased bone marrow plasma cell infiltration, reduced hemoglobin levels, percentage of high ISS III. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that CD27 positive cohort showing significantly prolonged median PFS versus CD27 negative counterparts (78 vs. 33 months, P = 0.0078). While CD117 alone lacked prognostic significance, combined CD27(+)CD117(+) status was associated with superior PFS (P = 0.0041 vs. subgroups), earlier ISS\MASS staging (P = 0.005, P = 0.021), deeper therapeutic remission rates(Protease inhibitor-based therapy, P = 0.009), and lower frequency of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities compared to all other combinations, and particularly outperforming CD27(-)CD117(-) patients. Among CD27-expressing patients, CD117 positive patients had better survival performance (P = 0.0424). Multivariate Cox regression confirmed CD27 positivity as an independent protective factor (HR 0.50, P = 0.009) and thrombocytopenia (PLT < 150 × 10⁹/L) as a risk predictor (HR 2.28, P = 0.002), both maintaining significance after adjusting for conventional parameters.
conclusionCD27 positive patients have a better prognosis, and the combination of CD27 and CD117 allows refined prognostic risk stratification of MM patients. The expression of CD27 and CD117 is associated with improved prognosis.
