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

backgroundEven in the era of novel immunotherapies for multiple myeloma (MM), treatment of late-stage relapsed/refractory (RR) patients remains challenging. The aim of our study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of the five-drug combination pomalidomide, bortezomib, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, and daratumumab ("Pom-PAD-Dara") in RRMM.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data of 56 patients with RRMM who received Pom-PAD-Dara between September 2016 and May 2019.

resultsPatients were heavily pretreated with a median of four prior lines of therapy, including autologous and allogenic stem cell transplant in 50 (89%) and six (11%) patients, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) was 78% and we observed partial remission, very good partial remission, and complete remission in 27 (48%), 13 (23%) and four (7%) patients, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 7 months (95% CI, 3.3-10.7) and the median overall survival was not reached at 24 months. Adverse events grade ≥ 3 were observed 41 (73%) patients and included neutropenia (n = 28, 50%), anemia (n = 22, 39%), thrombocytopenia (n = 21, 38%), and pneumonia (n = 6, 11%).

conclusionPom-PAD-Dara represents a promising multiagent regimen in heavily pretreated RRMM patients with high ORR and an acceptable safety profile.
