Treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma with the BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib: phase 2, single-arm, multicenter study.
Trial report in Journal of hematology & oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03206918 (A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Multicenter Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of BGB-3111, a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase), which is not on this map. Cited by 72 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
backgroundBruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors have demonstrated a high degree of efficacy in the treatment of B cell malignancies characterized by constitutive B cell receptor activation, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL).
methodsThe efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib, an investigational highly selective BTK inhibitor, was evaluated in this single-arm, phase 2 study of Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. The primary endpoint was overall response rate as assessed by an independent review committee.
resultsOf the 91 evaluable patients, 77 (84.6%) achieved a response, with three (3.3%), 54 (59.3%), and 20 (22%) patients achieving a complete response, partial response, and partial response with lymphocytosis, respectively, after a median follow-up of 15.1 months. The estimated 12-month event-free rate for duration of response was 92.9%. The most commonly reported grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (44%), thrombocytopenia (15.4%), lung infection/pneumonia (13.2%), upper respiratory tract infection (9.9%), and anemia (8.8%). The 12-month overall survival rate was 96%. Eight (9.0%) patients discontinued zanubrutinib due to AEs, and seven (8.0%) patients required at least one dose reduction.
conclusionTreatment of patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL with zanubrutinib was generally well tolerated and resulted in a high overall response rate, thereby conferring a favorable benefit-risk profile.
