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

Pomalidomide, an analogue of lenalidomide and thalidomide, has shown significant activity in treating relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Due to its oral formulation and favorable safety profile, pomalidomide is generally well tolerated, even among elderly and frail patients. We present a case of severe hypothyroidism induced by pomalidomide in a 71-year-old woman with relapsing/refractory MM. After initiating levothyroxine therapy, her symptoms quickly resolved. We then attempted to resume pomalidomide treatment; the rechallenge proved safe concerning thyroid function. In conclusion, we recommend testing thyroid function in patients prior to and then every 2-3 months during pomalidomide treatment. If drug-induced hypothyroidism occurs, once the patient reaches a state of euthyroidism, a rechallenge can be considered with a good safety profile.
