Successful Non-Transplant Treatment of Double Hit Richter Transformation with Long-Term Remission.
Article in Blood and lymphatic cancer : targets and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Richter transformation (RT) is defined as the transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to a high-grade B cell lymphoma. It usually carries a dismal prognosis and represents an unmet need for novel therapeutic interventions. We report a case of an 80-year-old male who developed double-hit (DH) RT with translocations of MYC and BCL6 after 5 years of watchful waiting for standard-risk CLL. He was treated with induction therapy consisting of 4 cycles of anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) and 2 cycles of platinum-based CIT with intrathecal methotrexate for CNS prophylaxis followed by continuous maintenance therapy with ibrutinib. He achieved complete remission after the induction therapy. At the time of writing, four and a half years after the diagnosis with DH-RT, he remains in complete remission without evidence of RT or CLL. The novel therapeutic approach used in successful treatment of this patient should be further explored.
