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

Ofatumumab's therapeutic impact on patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been the subject of increasing clinical research. However, in recent years, no studies have yet provided a pooled assessment of the treatment effect of ofatumumab vs. non-ofatumumab regimens. Therefore, we conducted a progression meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of ofatumumab-based treatment in CLL patients using data from clinical studies. Relevant publications from PubMed, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched. The efficacy outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The articles reviewed in the mentioned databases and matching the specified keywords were searched until January 2023. The pooled efficacy analysis showed that there was a significant difference in PFS [hazard ratios (HR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.52-0.74] and no significant difference in OS (HR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.71-1.03) between ofatumumab-based therapy and non-ofatumumab therapy. Our analysis showed the pooled efficacy for PFS was statistically significantly improved with ofatumumab-based treatments for CLL compared with other groups. Also, ofatumumab had no statistically significant improvement in the OS of patients with CLL. Thus, ofatumumab-based therapies for CLL patients could be improved by other combinational-based regimens.
