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

Loncastuximab tesirine (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl; ZYNLONTA™) is an antibody-drug conjugate being developed for the treatment of B cell lymphomas by ADC Therapeutics SA. Loncastuximab tesirine consists of a pyrrolobenzodiazepine DNA-alkylating warhead covalently attached via a cleavable linker to an anti-CD19 antibody that binds to B cells. It is currently approved in the US for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and is being developed for the treatment of mantle-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of loncastuximab tesirine leading to this first approval for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS), DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
