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

backgroundSeveral B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed therapy (BDT) modalities have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Ideal sequencing of these therapies remains unknown.

methodsWe report one of the largest multicenter retrospective patient cohorts in this real-world analysis of patients receiving a BDT in both BDT-naïve and exposed settings at major academic centers.

resultsIn the BDT-naïve setting, which included 276 patients, 169 (61%) received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), whereas 107 (39%) received bispecific antibodies (BsAbs). Median progression-free survival (PFS) in the BDT-naïve setting was significantly longer with CAR-T than with BsAbs (16.1 vs. 13.5 months,

conclusionsCAR-T led to more durable responses in the BDT-naïve setting than BsAbs. Responses to either modality were weaker in the BDT-exposed setting. These results highlight the importance of sequencing BDT in RRMM.
