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 the second most common hematologic malignancy, with increasing incidence and earlier onset. Despite the therapeutic efficacy of proteasome inhibitors and other strategies, nearly all patients eventually develop resistance, making the discovery of novel drug targets and innovative therapeutic approaches an urgent clinical need. A critical knowledge gap exists regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying bortezomib (first-line MM drug) resistance, which hinders the development of effective resistance-reversing strategies. Here we show calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II gamma (CaMKII-γ) regulates bortezomib-resistant MM (BRMM) via AMPK-ULK1-autophagy axis. High-throughput screening identified ruxolitinib as a selective CaMKII-γ inhibitor, which reverses BRMM resistance in vitro (using U266 and KMS11 bortezomib-resistant cell lines) and in vivo (using female BALB/c nude mouse model), with efficacy comparable to genetic CaMKII-γ ablation, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for BRMM with broader implications to improve patient outcomes in the future.
