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: Ixazomib is an oral proteasome inhibitor for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Our study aimed to analyze the efficacy and tolerability of ixazomib-based combination therapies. Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of 126 patients with RRMM and other plasma cell neoplasms. Results: The median age was 65 years, with a median of two prior therapy lines, and 16.7% were triple-class refractory. The overall response rate (ORR) was 52.5%; triple-class refractory patients had a significantly lower ORR than non-refractory controls (10.5% vs 60.2%, Conclusion: Altogether, ixazomib regimens are potent in RRMM but are less effective in heavily pretreated patients and those with renal impairment, suggesting earlier use may yield greater benefits.
