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 (MM) is an incurable cancer of monoclonal plasma cells. Despite its dependency on the bone marrow (BM), therapies targeting the BM microenvironment are lacking, barring immunotherapies. Obesity is associated with worse outcomes in MM, and although antiobesity treatments may benefit patients with MM, this is not yet known. Moreover, those treatments have side effects, and their specific mechanisms of action are elusive because of the interconnectedness of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diet, fiber intake, gut microbiome, inflammation, and the immune system. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) play a role in obesity and other diseases, but no studies of microenvironmentally derived FABPs' effects on cancer progression exist. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that microenvironmentally derived FABPs support MM progression using single-cell sequencing data, in vivo models, and MM Research Foundation Relating Clinical Outcomes in MM to Personal Assessment of Genetic Profile data. We found that global
