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

The majority of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) respond to chemo-immunotherapy. However, long-term remission remains elusive and the majority of patients will die of complications related to CLL. In this review we discuss the recent developments in targeted therapy for CLL. Targeted therapy has evolved beyond the cell surface targeting of CD20 with rituximab. Our review focuses on the evolution of antibody therapy in CLL, strategies to target effector T cells to the tumor, inhibition of the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, and finally targeting the mediators of apoptosis. With our improved understanding of the biology of CLL, the evolution of targeted therapy has resulted in significant clinical responses in patients who are refractory to traditional treatment options and holds the potential for a future where we can manage this disease without chemotherapy.
