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

Introduction: Safe outpatient delivery of B-cell maturation antigen-targeting bispecific antibodies (BCMA-BsAbs) in multiple myeloma (MM) is challenging, particularly during step-up dosing (SUD). Standardized guidance for European community practice is limited. Methods: A modified Delphi methodology panel sought expert consensus on safe, effective outpatient SUD and transition of care from academic to community centers for patients receiving BCMA-BsAbs. A steering committee of 10 European specialists in MM and BCMA-BsAb delivery generated statements based on literature review and clinical experience. Statements were tested in three rounds with a Delphi panel of 53 clinicians (hematologists, nurses, pharmacists) across France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Consensus was defined as ≥ 75% agreement. Results: Consensus was achieved for 84 statements. Key recommendations included: (1) patient stability before community center transition (afebrile ≥ 24 h, ASTCT Grade 0 toxicity, stable organ function); (2) community center requirements (training in cytokine release syndrome/immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, urgent laboratory access, tocilizumab and corticosteroids on-site, 24/7 escalation protocols); and (3) infection management (baseline cytomegalovirus testing, immunoglobulin [Ig] monitoring, prophylaxis with intravenous/subcutaneous Ig for IgG < 400 mg/dL, antiviral/ Conclusion: This European Delphi consensus provides a structured framework for outpatient SUD and transition of BCMA-BsAb therapy in MM. Adopting these recommendations may improve safety and consistency and expand accessibility. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
