Adverse events in lymphoma patients treated with phosphoinositide 3 kinase Inhibitor in clinical trials: a meta-analysis.

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
backgroundMalignant lymphomas are one of the most common cancers worldwide and with high biologic heterogeneity, while the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/mTOR pathway is crucial in maintaining cell growth and survival both in physiological and in pathological conditions (i.e., lymphoma). PI3K inhibitors have been proven to be effective in several subtypes of lymphomas. However, the high incidence of treatment-related adverse events as well as the special safety profile in PI3K inhibitors draws great attention. Thus, this meta-analysis was conducted to compare adverse events in PI3K inhibitors to conventional regimens in lymphoma patients.
methodsArticles were retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase to identify randomized controlled trials and phase III clinical trials that used PI3K inhibitors comparing with non-PI3K inhibitors in lymphoma patients. To achieve the appropriate results, we calculated the risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals.
resultsFour trials with 1399 patients that met our criteria were included. The PI3K inhibitors group significantly increased the risk of all-grade adverse events (AEs) (RR 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and high-grade AEs (RR 0.63, 95% CI: 0.57-0.70), compared with the non-PI3K inhibitors group. Besides, the incidence of neutropenia (RR 0.81, 95% CI: 0.74-0.90), pneumonia (RR 0.62, 95% CI: 0.46-0.83), and diarrhea (RR 0.40, 95% CI: 0.32-0.49) were significantly high in the PI3Ki group, while the incidence of anemia (RR 0.78, 95% CI: 0.50-1.20) and thrombocytopenia (RR 0.85, 95% CI: 0.51-1.42) had no statistic significant.
conclusionPI3K inhibitors increased the risk of certain AEs in lymphoma patients.
