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

Pseudoprogression is characterised by an increase in tumour size, driven by an influx of inflammatory cells, followed by regression. This phenomenon has rarely been reported in multiple myeloma (MM), despite increased use of immunotherapy approaches that have been associated with pseudoprogression in other malignancies. We report a case of pseudoprogression in a female in her early seventies with relapsed/refractory MM who was treated with the BCMA×CD3 bispecific antibody linvoseltamab. At study Day 28, she was hospitalised with acute bone pain and a new fracture, and a positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan suggested disease progression. However, biochemical markers of disease burden (serum M-protein, kappa light chain) had decreased from baseline, and therefore linvoseltamab was continued. At Day 77, M-protein was absent and the patient had achieved complete biochemical response, but she had to discontinue linvoseltamab due to infectious complications. A subsequent scan on Day 86 demonstrated marked improvement in osseous lesions. Despite being off therapy, the disease did not progress for 2 years. Assessment of T-cell activation and proinflammatory cytokine production indicated increased T-cell activation concurrent with onset of radiologic pseudoprogression. To our knowledge, this is the first description of radiologic pseudoprogression in MM with anti-BCMA bispecific antibody therapy.
