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 type of blood cancer affecting plasma cells in the bone marrow. The diagnosis of MM involves blood and urine tests to demonstrate monoclonal proteins. Imaging modalities such as MRI combined with positron emission tomography (PET) are used for the detection and staging of MM. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) has been used extensively for the staging of multiple myeloma. Another PET imaging modality targeting C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) has been recently evaluated for the staging of MM. CXCR4 is a protein receptor expressed on plasma cells, and the radiolabelled Pentixafor radiotracer targets these receptors and is therefore used in PET imaging. In this case report, we compare FDG and CXCR4 PET radiotracers for staging MM.
