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

This case report retrospectively evaluated the diagnosis and treatment of a multiple myeloma (MM) patient with early relapse in the central nervous system (CNS) post autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). We also performed a literature review of treatment options for patients with CNS myeloma. The patient was diagnosed with isolated CNS relapse of multiple myeloma one month after AHSCT, without other extramedullary lesions and with normal blood, urine, and bone marrow profiles. The patient responded better to combination therapy involving doxorubicin liposomes and a triple intrathecal injection of dexamethasone plus methotrexate plus cytarabine. However, regimens based on the daratumumab, pomalidomide, ixazomib, and selinexor failed to achieve sustained remission in this patient. Seventeen months after experiencing CNS relapse, the patient died because of disease progression. Currently, there is no standard treatment strategy for CNS myeloma and the overall prognosis is still poor.
