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

Mantle cell lymphoma has been recognized as a distinct entity from the other non-Hodgkin lymphomas in middle 1990's. It carries a worst prognosis among all mature B-cell malignancies. Cyclin D1 and recently SOX11 are the hallmarks for this disease. Even if it is highly responsive to induction treatment, it remains incurable, since it inevitably relapses. Highly aggressive approaches with stem cell transplantation can shift the survival curve for a bit, but even so the overall survival is not significantly improved in most of the cases. Small portion of patients with this heterogeneous disease have an indolent course with long-term survival. Conventional immunochemotherapy has reached its maximal possibilities, so novel target agents are absolutely warranted. The large number of ongoing early phase trials demonstrated promising results, especially emphasizing agents that target B-cell receptor. They are mostly investigated in relapsed/refractory disease, while front-line approaches with those agents need to be explored in future times.
