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

Extramedullary involvement (extramedullary disease, EMD) is an aggressive subtype of multiple myeloma (MM) characterized by myeloma subclones proliferating independently of the bone marrow microenvironment, often associated with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, immune evasion, and treatment resistance. While significant breakthroughs have been achieved in MM treatment with the sequential approval of proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, prognosis remains poor once EMD develops. Even in the era of immunotherapy, the survival benefit for EMD patients has not shown significant improvement. This review systematically summarizes therapeutic options for MM patients with EMD, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for EMD treatment.
