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

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological malignancy characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells within the bone marrow, thus resulting in the overproduction of monoclonal immunoglobulins. Despite the availability of various immunotherapeutic strategies, patient survival rates remain disappointingly low, thus underscoring the need for innovative immunotherapies to improve outcomes. Leukocyte Ig-like receptor subfamily B (LILRB1), which is a recently identified immune checkpoint, has an undefined role and molecular mechanism in MM. Herein, we demonstrated that LILRB1 was significantly upregulated in MM patients and MM cell lines and was negatively correlated with patient survival. The knockdown of LILRB1 promoted apoptosis in MM cells, enhanced sensitivity to bortezomib and diminished tumourigenicity in a subcutaneous mouse model. Mechanistically, LILRB1 triggers downstream GATA Binding Protein 2 (GATA2) and sustains MM cell proliferation via the GATA2-Sarcoma Antigen 1 (SAGE1) signalling pathway. Consequently, the targeting of LILRB1 may represent a promising therapeutic approach for MM.
