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 an incurable hematological malignancy with significant clinical and biological heterogeneity. Despite development and refinement of numerous prognostic models for MM, challenges with accurate and reliable risk stratification remain, highlighted by unexpected, early relapse or progression of disease in patients termed functional high-risk (FHR). To improve decision-making and optimise outcome, there is an unmet need for precise identification of high-risk (HR) patients, to enable tailored therapeutic strategies. With a complex and rapidly evolving treatment landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin (DT) technology have emerged as potential tools for personalized medicine in MM. Through the integration and analysis of large data generated in clinical trials, registries and real-world cohorts, AI can inform therapy selection by creating advanced predictive models. DT, virtual patient-specific disease replicas, act as a dynamic, bidirectional bridge between real-world clinical data and computational simulations. Continuous acquisition of patient data, synchronized with DTs through AI-driven architectures, facilitates iterative risk recalibration. This ensures the virtual models accurately reflect evolving disease biology and treatment response. This review provides an overview of current and emerging risk stratification in MM, including genomic-based definitions of HR disease and the concept of FHR MM. We described the role, limitations and controversies of AI and DT in refining risk assessment, their predictive capacity for outcomes and therapy selection. Finally, we provide perspectives on the future of AI application in MM.
