Choosing the optimal maintenance strategy in multiple myeloma.
Review in Hematology. American Society of Hematology. Education Program, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
While lenalidomide has been the established standard of care for maintenance after autologous stem cell transplantation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, risk-adapted maintenance strategies with the addition of proteasome inhibitors can provide additional benefit in high-risk disease. The widespread use of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in induction and consolidation has further disrupted this paradigm, offering the use of anti-CD38 mAbs in maintenance. Novel immunotherapeutic approaches and minimal residual disease-guided maintenance strategies are being actively investigated. The evolution of maintenance strategies provides a window to a future where maintenance therapy is not only more effective at sustaining deep and durable responses but also more dynamic with careful de-escalation strategies.
