Evaluation of clinical parameters and biomarkers in older, untreated mantle cell lymphoma patients receiving bendamustine-rituximab.
Article in British journal of haematology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is clinically and biologically heterogeneous. While various prognostic features have been proposed, none currently impact therapy selection, particularly in older patients, for whom treatment is primarily dictated by age and comorbidities. Herein, we undertook a comprehensive comparison of clinicopathological features in a cohort of patients 60 years and older, uniformly treated with bendamustine and rituximab, with a median survival of >8 years. The strongest prognostic indicators in this cohort were a high-risk call by a simplified MCL international prognostic index (s-MIPI) (HR: 3.32, 95% CI: 1.65-6.68 compared to low risk), a high-risk call by MCL35 (HR: 10.34, 95% CI: 2.37-45.20 compared to low risk) and blastoid cytology (HR: 4.21, 95% CR: 1.92-9.22 compared to classic). Patients called high risk by both the s-MIPI and MCL35 had the most dismal prognosis (HR: 11.58, 95% CI: 4.10-32.72), while those with high risk by either had a moderate but clinically relevant prognosis (HR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.49-5.82). A robust assay to assess proliferation, such as MCL35, along with stringent guidelines for cytological evaluation of MCL, in combination with MIPI, may be a strong path to risk-stratify older MCL patients in future clinical trials.
