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 plasma cell malignancy shaped by dynamic interactions between MM cells and non-malignant cells in the immune microenvironment. To spatially profile the influence of cellular context on MM and immune cell expression, we developed a multimodal framework integrating 10x Genomics Visium HD, 10x Genomics Xenium, and clinically annotated single-cell RNA (scRNA-seq) sequencing datasets. Visium HD enabled unbiased, whole transcriptome, spatial discovery at 16 μm resolution, Xenium provided orthogonal validation at single-cell resolution, and scRNA-seq extended findings by mapping spatial labels and leveraging the greater sequencing depth. We developed a custom framework for cell type annotation within Visium HD spatial bins. Our approach enabled identification of plasma cell-dense niches enriched for non-canonical Wnt signaling, associated with gene expression supporting cell adhesion mediated drug resistance, inferior progression-free survival, and extramedullary lesions. Immune cells within these neighborhoods exhibited suppressed transcriptional states, including increased inhibitory receptor expression such as
