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

Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of clonally expanded plasma cells shaped by complex interactions with the immune microenvironment (IME). To investigate immune correlates of treatment response and disease progression, we conducted multi-omics profiling including CD138neg single-cell RNA sequencing of 243 bone marrow samples from 102 patients (631,226 cells) and CD138pos bulk RNA and whole-genome sequencing from 209 samples. In longitudinal analyses, interferon-γ signaling associated with markers of impaired T-cell memory after autologous stem cell transplant, whereas naïve B-cell abundance and immunoglobulin diversity correlated with improved progression-free survival (HR = 0.48; P = 2.3e-4). At disease progression, multiple myeloma cells upregulated cancer-testis antigens (CTAg) and immune effector genes, with concurrent B-cell depletion, enrichment of myeloid-derived suppressor cell expression, and phenotypic T-cell exhaustion. These findings highlight dynamic immune-tumor interactions, identifying naïve B-cell reconstitution as a biomarker of durable response and CTAgs as potential targets for high-risk disease at progression. SIGNIFICANCE: Longitudinal profiling of multiple myeloma and the IME revealed dynamic immune-tumor interactions across the disease course. Altered expression in CD8+ T cells limited memory phenotype after transplant, whereas naïve B-cell recovery associated with sustained treatment response. At progression, CTAg expression associated with immunosuppression, revealing novel mechanisms of immune dysregulation.
