Efficacy of daratumumab combination regimen in patients with multiple myeloma: A combined analysis of phase III randomized controlled trials.
Article in EJHaem, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The use of the CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab in combination with standard myeloma chemotherapy regimens has been studied extensively in recent years. We undertook an updated meta-analysis of phase III randomized controlled trials (RCT) to determine the efficacy of daratumumab combination regimens. The relative risk for progression was significantly lower in daratumumab-treated cohorts (HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.38-0.55) and this was consistent across newly diagnosed and relapsed cases. No statistically significant improvement was identified in newly diagnosed patients with high-risk cytogenetics and this group remains a therapeutic challenge.
