Durable remission with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in a patient with leptomeningeal disease secondary to relapsed mantle cell lymphoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an incurable B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a variable clinical course. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is a rare and dreaded complication in MCL. We report a case of leptomeningeal relapse of MCL that was successfully treated with a single-agent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor. A man in his 50s with MCL was treated with six cycles of bendamustine-rituximab, achieving a complete remission (CR) and was subsequently placed on rituximab maintenance for 2 years. Four years later, he was hospitalised with symptoms of organic brain syndrome. Brain MRI and cerebrospinal fluid analysis confirmed CNS relapse of MCL. He was treated with dexamethasone, ibrutinib 560 mg/day and intrathecal cytarabine with improvement in neurological symptoms, and a follow-up MRI showed CR. The patient was later switched to acalabrutinib due to intolerance to ibrutinib. The patient is tolerating this regimen well, remaining in CR 3 years later.
