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: Daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (DPd) is an effective option for treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). In this study, we sought to analyze the risk of hematological and non-hematological toxicities in patients who responded to DPd treatment. Methods: We analyzed 97 patients with RRMM who were treated with DPd between January 2015 and June 2022. The patients and disease characteristics, as well as safety and efficacy outcomes were summarized as descriptive analysis. Results: The overall response rate for the entire group was 74% (n = 72). The most common grade III/IV hematological toxicities in those who responded to treatment were neutropenia (79%), leukopenia (65%), lymphopenia (56%), anemia (18%), and thrombocytopenia (8%). The most common grade III/IV non-hematological toxicities were pneumonia (17%) and peripheral neuropathy (8%). The incidence of dose reduction/interruption was 76% (55/72), which was due to hematological toxicity in 73% of the cases. The most common reason for discontinuing treatment was disease progression in 61% (44 out of 72 patients). Conclusions: Our study revealed that patients who respond to DPd are at high risk of dose reduction or treatment interruption because of hematological toxicity, typically due to neutropenia and leukopenia leading to increased risk of hospitalization and pneumonia.
