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

Background: The effect of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score on forecasting multiple myeloma (MM) prognosis is previously analyzed, whereas the results remained inconsistent. The present meta-analysis focused on identifying the exact function of CONUT in forecasting MM prognosis. Methods: Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched between inception and 1 February 2025. The effect of CONUT on forecasting MM overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was determined by computing pooled hazard ratios (HRs) together with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: There were nine studies with 1,176 patients being recruited into the present work. As indicated by our pooled data, elevated CONUT was related to the dismal OS (HR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.37-2.54, Conclusion: Collectively, according to our results in this meta-analysis, higher CONUT score is markedly related to dismal OS, but not PFS in patients with MM. CONUT score can be used as a candidate marker used to predict MM prognosis in the clinic in the future.
