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

Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with indolent course and prolonged disease course. The first-in-class Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, ibrutinib, has shown significant activity and a distinct adverse event profile among both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory WM patients. Interestingly, clinical responses to ibrutinib have been shown to be dependent on patients' MYD88 and CXCR4 mutational status. The recent outcomes of the Phase III iNNOVATE trial showed that the combination of ibrutinib with rituximab resulted in a significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared with rituximab monotherapy, which provides a novel therapeutic option in the clinical practice especially for the rituximab-refractory WM patients. However, the need for continuous drug administration along with the unique toxicity manifestations may render the patient management challenging. Furthermore, our understanding of the underlying resistant mechanisms to ibrutinib is currently being evolved.
