Modified DHAP regimen in the salvage treatment of refractory or relapsed lymphomas.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2019. 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
backgroundThe combination of dexamethasone, high-dose cytarabine, and cisplatin (DHAP) is an established salvage regimen for lymphoma patients. We hypothesized that a modified administration schedule for cisplatin and cytarabine results in lower toxicity and improved efficacy.
methodsWe retrospectively analysed 119 patients with relapsed or refractory, aggressive, or indolent B-cell lymphomas, mantle-cell lymphomas, peripheral T-cell lymphomas, or Hodgkin's lymphomas who were treated with the modified DHAP (mDHAP) regimen (dexamethasone 40 mg 15 min-i.v. infusion, days 1-4; cytarabine 2 × 0.5 g/m
resultsIn total, 185 treatment cycles were evaluable. Severe myelosuppression was the main toxicity occurring in 90% of the cycles. Febrile neutropenia or documented infection was found in less than 40%. Two patients died related to treatment (TRM, 1.7%). Nephrotoxicity did not exceed CTC grade 3, which occurred in four cycles only (2.2%). Complete (CR) or partial (PR) responses after mDHAP were documented in 16% and 39% (overall response rate 55%). Harvest of autologous stem cells was successful in 94 (79%) patients and 85 patients (71%) proceeded to stem-cell transplantation. The median overall and progression-free survival was 50.8 and 25.8 months.
conclusionsAn improvement in efficacy could not be observed after modified DHAP regimen; however, manageable toxicity and reduced renal complications suggest further investigation. The study, however, also underlines the need for new concepts in the management of advanced and high-risk lymphomas.
