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

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined regimen of bendamustine (B) and rituximab (R) in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Patients aged 20-79 years with pathologically confirmed B-NHLs or MCL, which were r/r after 1-2 R-containing regimens, were included in this study. The BR regimen consisted of B (90 mg/m(2)) for two consecutive days and R (375 mg/m(2)) on day 1, 2, or 3. The course was repeated every 4 weeks for up to four cycles. Fifty-three patients were enrolled in this study and analyzed. The diagnosis included follicular lymphoma (FL) (77 %), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (13 %) and others (10 %). Forty-seven (90 %) patients completed four cycles of treatment as per schedule. Best overall response rate (ORR) and complete response rate (CRR) was 94 and 71 %, respectively (for FL, ORR 95 % and CRR 80 %). The treatment was well tolerated and the primary toxicity was myelosuppression; the incidence of grade 3/4 leukopenia and neutropenia were 42 and 40 %, respectively. There were no grade 5 toxicities. The BR regimen is safe in Japanese patients with r/r indolent B-NHLs and MCL, and is effective for those with r/r indolent B-NHLs. For the evaluation of late toxicity, especially infection, longer follow-up of this cohort is needed.
