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 with extensive genomic and transcriptional heterogeneity, limiting disease classification and precision therapy. Here we generated a clinically annotated, population-scale, single-cell atlas of MM from 341 individuals spanning the disease and treatment continuum. We identified five recurrent malignant transcriptional archetypes and an orthogonal proliferative program associated with genomic features, therapeutic resistance and clinical outcomes. Validation in the independent CoMMpass cohort demonstrated robustness, prognostic relevance and portability across platforms. We developed a single-cell, target-discovery pipeline prioritizing malignant enrichment, cell-type specificity and tissue restriction, identifying FCRL2 as a plasma-restricted or B cell-lineage-restricted surface target expressed by malignant plasma cells. FCRL2-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells demonstrated antigen-specific activity in vitro and survival benefit in vivo. Together, these data provide a clinically actionable blueprint for patient stratification and precision target nomination in plasma-cell malignancies.
