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

Daratumumab-lenalidomide (DR) combination therapy improves multiple myeloma (MM) outcomes, yet some patients respond poorly. We examined 21 DR pre-treatment samples from the IFM2017-03 phase 3 trial using single-cell and bulk multiomics approaches to identify determinants of response. Analysis of the bone marrow environment revealed a coordinated inflammatory state across immune and myeloma cells associated with DR resistance. We identified upregulated NF-κB signaling genes in monocytes of non-responders, alongside increased proinflammatory ISG + T cells and attenuated NK cell CD16 expression, suggesting an impairment of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity essential for daratumumab efficacy. Concurrently, myeloma cells displayed enhanced NF-κB activation, supporting convergent tumor and immune inflammatory programs. We further developed an eight-gene NF-κB-related signature that robustly predicted treatment response in independent bone marrow (n = 28, AUC = 0.81) and peripheral blood (n = 40, AUC = 0.77) samples. Our study underscores an NF-κB-associated inflammatory axis underlying poor DR response and suggests that targeting inflammatory pathways a potential therapeutic avenue warranting further investigation.
