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

Background: While carfilzomib has shown effectiveness in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), the best frequency of dosing is still debated. This meta-analysis aims to investigate the differences in safety and effectiveness between once-weekly and twice-weekly carfilzomib treatment schedules for patients with RRMM. Methods: A thorough search of five databases was performed. We calculated pooled relative risks (RRs), hazard ratios (HRs), and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs), and conducted heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses using StateMP 18 software. Results: Five studies met the inclusion criteria. Analysis indicated that once-weekly carfilzomib significantly enhanced progression-free survival (HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.69-0.94, Conclusion: The results propose once-weekly carfilzomib as a viable alternative treatment option for RRMM.
