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 blood cancer that, unfortunately, has a high morbidity and mortality rate. The VMP regimen, which includes bortezomib (BOR), melphalan (MEL), and prednisolone (PRD), is a safe and effective salvage regimen for refractory or relapsed MM. Up to now, there is no established analytical method to determine the VMP regimen, nor has any study investigated the kinetic interactions among its components, thereby highlighting the need for further clinical investigation. In light of this, an environmentally friendly, fast, sensitive, and precise LC-MS/MS method was established to determine bortezomib, melphalan, prednisolone, and sildenafil (an internal standard) simultaneously as part of the in vivo pharmacokinetics research carried out on rats. The established LC-MS/MS method was applied using a mobile phase composed of a mixture of methanol: 0.1% aqueous solution of formic acid and a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) as a stationary phase. The cited drugs were ionized through positive ionization and detected using multi-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with the following precursor→product transitions: m/z 367.3→226.3 for BOR, m/z 305.0→168.2 for MEL, m/z 545.0→147.5 for PRD, and m/z 475.3→283.4 for SIL. Following FDA guidelines, the developed method was validated and showed acceptable ranges. Subsequently, it was employed in an in vivo investigation using rats, where the quantitative assessment of each drug was performed following both single and combined treatment. This allowed for the investigation of potential drug-drug interactions and the calculation of all pharmacokinetic parameters to monitor the therapeutic effects of those medications. To ensure the safety and environmental friendliness of the developed method, four assessment tools were applied: the assessment of green profile (AGP), blue applicability grade index (BAGI), analytical greenness metric for sample preparation (AGREEprep), and green analytical procedure index (GAPI).
