Patient Understanding of Multiple Myeloma and Communication Experiences (PUMMaCE): Results From a UK Survey.
Article in EJHaem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a complex haematological cancer. The terminology used can make discussions more challenging. We designed an online patient survey to explore this area. Methods: Questions with fixed and free text response options explored understanding of MM and phrases Health Care Professionals (HCPs) and family used that were helpful or not. Results: Data from 138 patients revealed that most were satisfied with the HCPs' communication. Many gave examples where information received impacted their understanding, for example, about prognosis, treatment management and support. Conclusion: These findings will inform the production of educational materials to improve communication between patients, their families and HCPs. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
