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

Prolonged COVID-19 following B-cell depleting immunotherapy for malignant lymphoma is characterized by repeated cycles of remission followed by symptom recurrence, persistent detection of SARS-CoV-2, and profound humoral immunodeficiency. To the best of our knowledge, the present report is the first to describe dual antiviral therapy with remdesivir and ensitrelvir for prolonged COVID-19 following B-cell depleting immunotherapy for malignant lymphoma. A 59-year-old, female patient with a history of follicular lymphoma treated with obinutuzumab and bendamustine contracted COVID-19 despite receiving a single course of standard remdesivir therapy. She received dual antiviral therapy with remdesivir following a five-day course of oral ensitrelvir, which improved her clinical symptoms and chest radiology findings and cleared SARS-CoV-2 from respiratory samples. Dual antiviral therapy with remdesivir and ensitrelvir may be sufficient to stop viral replication and promote clinical resolution in prolonged COVID-19 following B-cell depleting immunotherapy for malignant lymphoma.
