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

backgroundPatients with multiple myeloma (MM) have increased risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thromboembolism (ATE). The risk of thrombosis differs among different treatment regimens. It is unknown if daratumumab could affect thrombosis risk.

methodsA comprehensive search was conducted until April 2020. Events of VTE, including pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis, as well as events of ATE, including acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, were extracted from trials. In addition, events of thrombocytopenia and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding were also extracted.

resultsSix trials were included in the meta-analysis. Daratumumab was associated with a lower risk of VTE compared with non-daratumumab regimen (Risk ratio [RR], 0.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40-0.91). The risk of ATE had no significant difference (RR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.48-1.33). Daratumumab was also associated with a trend of higher risk of Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.94-1.38), while the risk of GI bleeding was not significantly different (RR, 1.32; 95% CI, 0.38-4.65).

conclusionDaratumumab is associated with lower risk of VTE in clinical trials.
