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

introductionAnemia is a common adverse effect of myelosuppressive chemotherapy, and the development of chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) is more common in patients with hematologic malignant tumors.

objectiveTo assess the incidence and treatment pattern of CIA in patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from a large managed care organization in California.

methodsPatients diagnosed with NHL between 2010 and 2012 were studied to provide an updated picture of CIA in current hematology-oncology practice. Trends in anemia treatment patterns were examined from 2000 to 2013. All data were collected from Kaiser Permanente Southern California electronic health records.

resultsOf 699 chemotherapy-treated patients with NHL diagnosed between 2010 and 2012, 36.9% and 11.6% developed moderate (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL) and severe (hemoglobin < 8 g/dL) CIA during chemotherapy, respectively. Proportions of moderate CIA events treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) decreased from 2000 to 2013: 34% in phase 1 (January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2006), 22% in phase 2 (January 1, 2007, to March 24, 2010), and 6% in phase 3 (March 25, 2010, to June 30, 2013). An increasing trend of red blood cell transfusion was observed: 12% in phase 1, 22% in phase 2, and 27% in phase 3. Similar calendar trends were observed for management of severe CIA events. DISCUSSION: In contrast to previous European reports, we note a higher incidence of CIA in patients with NHL in this US community practice setting.

conclusionModerate to severe CIA is common in patients with NHL receiving chemotherapy. Multiple ESA-related policy changes occurred from 2000 to 2013. A large proportion of CIA episodes were currently not treated with ESA, and transfusions have become more common. Further studies are needed to determine associations between CIA symptom burden and CIA treatment as they relate to patient outcomes and quality of life.
