Final analysis of carfilzomib, dexamethasone, and daratumumab vs carfilzomib and dexamethasone in the CANDOR study.
Article in Blood advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03158688 (A Randomized, Open-label, Phase 3 Study Comparing Carfilzomib, Dexamethasone, and Daratumumab to Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
CANDOR (NCT03158688) is a phase 3, randomized, open-label trial comparing carfilzomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone (KdD) vs carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in adults with relapsed/refectory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with 1 to 3 prior therapies. The CANDOR study met its primary end point of progression-free survival (PFS) in the primary analysis. Here, we report the final analysis of the study, including secondary end points and subgroup analyses thereof. The median follow-up was 50 months. Patients treated with KdD had higher minimal residual disease-negative (MRD-) achievement rates (28% vs 9%; odds ratio [OR], 4.22; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.28-7.83) and MRD- complete response rates (22% vs 8%; OR, 3.55; 95% CI, 1.83-6.88) than those treated with Kd. Median PFS was 28.4 months for KdD vs 15.2 months for Kd (hazard ratio [HR], 0.64; 95% CI, 0.49-0.83). Median overall survival (OS) for KdD was 50.8 months vs 43.6 months for Kd (HR, 0.78 [0.60-1.03]; P = .042). Trends toward improved OS occurred in predefined subgroups, including patients refractory to lenalidomide (KdD, not reached vs Kd, 38.2 months; HR, 0.69 [0.43-1.11]) and refractory to proteasome inhibitor (KdD, 43.2 months vs Kd, 30.0 months; HR, 0.70 [0.45-1.09]), and there was significant improvement in patients with high-risk cytogenetics (KdD, 34.3 months vs Kd: 17.1 months; HR, 0.52 [0.29-0.94]). No new safety signals were identified. In summary, the final analysis of CANDOR confirmed the PFS benefit and showed a trend in OS benefit with KdD vs Kd. These findings reinforce KdD as a standard of care for RRMM, especially in clinically relevant patient subgroups. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03158688.
