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

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by a gradual accumulation of neoplastic B-lymphocytes. Ibrutinib is a novel therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Ibrutinib therapy has been associated with nail plate abnormalities. Other common cutaneous adverse events caused by ibrutinib appear to be bruising, hair changes, pruritus, and rashes. We describe the clinical features of two patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a 79-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man who developed nail plate abnormalities approximately 6 and 4 months, respectively, after beginning ibrutinib therapy. We also review the characteristics of other patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia with ibrutinib-associated nail plate abnormalities. The PubMed database was used to search the following terms: abnormal, abnormalities, adverse, brittle, chronic, cutaneous, dystrophy, events, effects, ibrutinib, lymphocytic, leukemia, nail, plate, and side. The relevant referenced papers generated by the search were reviewed. In conclusion, ibrutinib is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It is usually well-tolerated. Many patients receiving ibrutinib will develop nail plate abnormalities. This adverse event is not a drug-limiting toxicity.
