1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) interrupt B-cell receptor signaling and thereby could potentially reactivate hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, data about the risk for HBV reactivation (HBVr) of BTKis in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) patients are sparse. Methods: A total of 55 R/R DLBCL patients receiving BTKis therapy in the Tongji Hospital of Tongji University were enrolled. Patient clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes and details of HBVr were collected and analyzed, aiming to demonstrate the risk of HBVr in R/R DLBCL patients post BTKis therapy and the efficacy of BTKis in HBV-associated R/R DLBCL patients. Results: Of 55 R/R DLBCL patients treated with ibrutinib (N=38) and zanubrutinib (N=17), 4 were with chronic HBV infection (HBsAg positive), 26 with resolved HBV infection (HBsAg negative and HBcAb positive) and 25 without HBV infection (HBsAg negative and HBcAb negative). In resolved HBV infection group, 2 patients developed HBVr after the use of ibrutinib and zanubrutinib respectively. Neither of them developed HBV-related hepatitis. Our finding showed that the incidence of HBVr in resolved HBV infection group was 7.69% (95% CI, 0.9-25.1%). In this study, Overall response rate (ORR) was 70.9%. 1-year overall survival (OS) rate was 80.0%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4 months (95% CI, 3-5 months). In addition, HBV infection was not associated with response rates or survival among R/R DLBCL patients post BTKis treatments. Conclusion: Our study suggested that HBV infection do not affect the efficacy of BTKis' treatment. However, R/R DLBCL patients with resolved HBV infection are at a moderate risk of developing HBVr throughout BTKis treatment. Patients should be screened for HBVr during BTKis therapy.
