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

Relapse after dose-reduced allograft in advanced myeloma patients remains high. To reduce the risk of relapse, we investigated a myeloablative toxicity-reduced allograft (aSCT) consisting of i.v. BU and CY followed by lenalidomide maintenance therapy in 33 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who relapsed following an autograft after a median of 12 months. The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality at 1 year was 6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0-14). After a median interval of 168 days following aSCT, 24 patients started with a median dose of 5 mg (r, 5-15) lenalidomide without dexamethasone. During follow-up, 13 patients discontinued lenalidomide owing to progressive disease (n=6), GvHD (n=3), thrombocytopenia (n=2), or fatigue (n=2). Major toxicities of lenalidomide were GvHD II-III (28%), viral reactivation (16%), thrombocytopenia (III-IV°,16%), neutropenia (III/IV°, 8%), peripheral neuropathy (I/II°, 16%), or other infectious complication (8%). Cumulative incidence of relapse at 3 years was 42% (95% CI: 18-66). The 3-year estimated probability of PFS and OS was 52% (95% CI: 28-76) and 79% (95% CI: 63-95), respectively. Toxicity-reduced myeloablative allograft followed by lenalidomide maintenance is feasible and effective in relapsed patients with MM, but the induction of GvHD should be considered.
