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

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) can cause profound hypogammaglobulinemia. Conventional infection prophylaxis has utilized weight-based IVIG dosing. However, the use of flat IVIG dosing can significantly reduce IVIG utilization. We evaluated hypogammaglobulinemia and infection risk in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients treated with BsAbs who received flat-dose IVIG for primary infection prophylaxis. Among thirty patients, 73% had ≥1 and 43% had ≥2 infectious episodes. By severity, 27% of infections were CTCAE v5 grade three or higher and there were 2 sepsis-related deaths. Overall, flat-dose IVIG demonstrates feasibility for primary infection prophylaxis in RRMM patients receiving BsAbs.
