Phase II study of dose-adjusted gemcitabine, dexamethasone, cisplatin, and rituximab in elderly relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients.
Article in EJHaem, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) are too toxic for elderly patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Therefore, effective and tolerable regimens for elderly patients are urgently needed. The present phase II study assessed the efficacy and safety of dose-adjusted therapy with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, cisplatin, and rituximab (GDP-R) in this population. ASCT-ineligible elderly patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL received dose-adjusted GDP-R in each 28-day cycle for up to six cycles. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints were complete response (CR) rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Thirty-three patients were enrolled and received dose-adjusted GDP-R. The median age was 75 years (range: 68-87 years). The ORR was 82.8% (90% confidence interval [CI], 67.1-93.0%), with a CR rate of 58.6% (90% CI, 41.7-74.1%). At a median follow-up of 20.9 months, the 2-year PFS rate was 46.8% (90% CI, 30.7-61.5%) and the 2-year overall survival rate was 63.2% (90% CI, 45.8-76.3%). The most frequently observed grade 4 adverse events were neutropenia (63.6%), thrombocytopenia (57.6%), and lymphocytopenia (39.4%). Dose-adjusted GDP-R is a promising salvage regimen for ASCT-ineligible elderly patients with relapsed DLBCL after rituximab-containing chemotherapy and warrants further investigation.
