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

A 62-year-old woman experienced severe renal insufficiency and significant thrombocytopenia during the 7th cycle of carfilzomib and dexamethasone therapy for relapsed multiple myeloma. She was diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection from a routine check upon admission. She was subsequently diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) as well, and platelet fragments were detected in her blood. Treatment with plasma exchange, hemodialysis, and antiviral medications was successful. Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified as the primary trigger of TMA, carfilzomib was probably a predisposing factor that contributed to endothelial damage. Even though severe cases of COVID-19 have been less frequent since the Omicron variant became dominant, patients with MM, especially those under treatment with carfilzomib, should be given repeated booster vaccinations. Antiviral medication should also be considered in patients infected with COVID-19, even if symptoms are mild.
