Evolving Strategies for the Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in the Upfront Setting.
Review in Current hematologic malignancy reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease of marked clinical heterogeneity, and while some patients have a normal life expectancy, others develop rapidly progressive disease shortly after diagnosis. The current standard for upfront treatment of CLL is chemoimmunotherapy for younger fit patients, FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab) being the prototype. For older patients, BR (bendamustine and rituximab) exhibits excellent activity with decreased toxicity. For the frailest patients, CD20 monoclonal antibodies with or without chlorambucil have proven to be efficacious. The novel oral kinase inhibitors ibrutinib and idelalisib are FDA-approved in the relapsed/refractory setting, and ibrutinib is approved upfront for those with del(17p). These drugs have produced long-term durable responses in the relapsed/refractory setting, and studies are underway using these as single agent upfront or in combination with both chemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies. Here, we review standard upfront therapies and new agents and combinations that are on the horizon for CLL.
