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

Therapeutic options in relapsed refractory (R/R) light-chain (AL) amyloidosis patients are limited. Given the encouraging results in t(11;14) multiple myeloma and the high prevalence of t(11;14) in AL amyloidosis, venetoclax is an attractive treatment option in this setting. We report here the results of a multi-center retrospective study on 26 R/R AL amyloidosis patients treated off-label with venetoclax. The median lines of therapy prior to venetoclax was 3.5 (range 1-7), and 88% of our cohort had t (11;14). Twenty-two patients (85%) were previously treated with daratumumab. The overall hematologic response rate was 88%, 35% achieved a CR, and 35% achieved VGPR. The median event-free survival was 25 months (m) (95% CI 9.7 m-not reached), and the median overall survival was 33 m (95% CI 25.9-39.2 m). Most of the patients in this cohort are in ongoing deep responses and continuing venetoclax therapy. The treatment was relatively safe. One patient died due to infection, and there were two grade 3 infections in our cohort. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) was not seen in any patient. Dose reductions were frequent but did not affect the efficacy. These promising results require confirmation in a randomized controlled trial.
