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

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) prognosis worsens once patients become triple-class exposed (TCE) to at least one treatment in each class: immunomodulators, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using the Cancer Analysis System database to assess characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes for adults diagnosed with MM between 2014 and 2020. The main cohort included patients ≥18 years-old diagnosed with incident MM (including TCE patients) who had at least one record of systemic anticancer therapy treatment within 30 days prior to, on, or any time after their diagnosis. Results: The main cohort comprised 14,990 patients, predominantly white and male, with a median age at diagnosis of 71 years. Of these, 848 (5.6%) became TCE. In the main cohort ( Conclusions: This study provides current evidence on real-world OS and management for patients with MM in England, including those who become TCE.
