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

Lenalidomide is associated with increased risk of thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with multiple myeloma. This risk has not previously been defined in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), for which lenalidomide is also an active agent. We conducted a systematic literature search in Ovid MEDLINE (1946 to February 2017), Ovid EMBASE (1974 to February 2017), The Cochrane Library (Wiley), and Web of Science Core Collection for prospective studies evaluating lenalidomide-containing regimens in B-cell NHL with adequate reporting of patient characteristics, total cycles received, and safety data including VTE rates. The primary outcome was VTE events per 100 patient-cycles by meta-analysis using random-effects models. Our literature search identified 1719 citations; 28 articles were included. For all patients with B-cell NHL receiving lenalidomide, the rate of VTE per 100 patient-cycles was 0.77 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-1.12; I
