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

In patients with relapsed/refractory Burkitt lymphoma (r/r BL), overall survival (OS) is poor, and effective therapies and evidence for the best therapy are lacking. The monoclonal antibody blinatumomab may represent a novel option. However, only limited data on the use of blinatumomab in r/r BL are so far available. This multi-center, retrospective case series investigated nine patients with r/r BL treated with blinatumomab. The safety of blinatumomab was assessed with respect to frequency and severity of adverse effects (AEs) infections, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity. Progression-free survival (PFS), OS and overall response rate (ORR) were analyzed to assess efficacy. No AEs > grade 2 occurred, and AEs were generally treatable and fully reversible. The best response to blinatumomab was complete remission in 3/9 patients and partial remission in 2/9, whilst 4/9 presented with progressive disease. Median PFS and OS were 2 and 6 months, respectively, ranging from 5 days to 32 months and 11 days to 32 months, respectively. Blinatumomab treatment was a successful bridging treatment to stem cell transplantation in 3/9 patients. The response to blinatumomab varied widely, and only one patient survived longer term, but activity in patients with r/r BL was evident in some patients, with its use being safe, warranting its prospective investigation.
