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

In cancer, mutational processes act in concert with epigenetic reprogramming to endow malignant cells with hallmark properties that underpin tumorigenesis. Compared with the relatively rigid and slow processes of genetic evolution, the plastic nature of chromatin enables cells to adapt to a changing environment more rapidly. Multiple myeloma is characterised by high levels of inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity at both the genetic and epigenetic levels. Understanding the many layers of genetic and non-genetic evolution and their interplay is crucial to improve patient outcomes. In this short review, we discuss the most common and extensively characterised epigenetic alterations that occur during myeloma development. We also touch on emerging approaches to reverse the aberrant epigenome of myeloma cells as a treatment strategy.
