Acalabrutinib-related second primary malignancies and nonmelanoma skin cancers in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL): A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Review in EJHaem, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Acalabrutinib is a second generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor and was recently approved in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials to determine the risks of acalabrutinib-related second primary malignancies (SPM) and nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC). The incidence of SPM was 4.7% higher in the acalabrutinib arm compared to control arm with risk ratio (RR) of 1.76 (5.32 vs 3.2 per 100 person-years). Notably, NMSC was the most common SPM, and the incidence was 2.56 per 100 person-years in the acalabrutinib group versus 1.12 per 100 person-years in the control group (RR 2.43). Long-term follow-up and future studies are necessary to define the actual relationship and their risk factors.
