A real-world retrospective-prospective analysis of efficacy and safety of combined ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: The northern Italy experience.
Article in Cancer medicine, 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
introductionIxazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd) have been approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) based on the results of the TOURMALINE-MM1. OBJECTIVES AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective-prospective analysis of 106 RRMM patients (pts) treated with IRd in 21 centers in Northern Italy, with the aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IRd in real life.
resultsAt IRd initiation, 34% of pts were aged ≥75 (median 72.5), 8.5% had an ECOG performance status ≥2, 54.7% of evaluable pts carried high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities [del17p and/or t(4;14) and/or t(14;16) and/or 1 g gain/amp], 60.2% had received ≥2 prior lines of therapy (pLoT), 57.5% were lenalidomide (Len)-exposed (including both Len-sensitive and Len-refractory pts), and 22% were Len-refractory. Main G ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were thrombocytopenia (16%) and neutropenia (12.3%). G ≥3 non-hematologic AEs included infections (9.4%) and GI toxicity (diarrhea 5.7%, hepatotoxicity 2.8%), VTE, skin rash, and peripheral neuropathy were mainly G1-2. The overall response rate was 56.4% (≥VGPR 30%). With a median follow-up of 38 m, median PFS (mPFS) was 16 m and the 1-year OS rate was 73%. By subgroup analysis, an extended PFS was observed for pts achieving ≥VGPR (mPFS 21.2 m), time from diagnosis to IRd ≥5 years (26.2 m), 1 pLoT (34.4 m), Len-naïve (NR), age ≥70 (20 m). In pts exposed to Len, non-refractory in any prior line and immediately prior to IRd, mPFS was 16 and 18 m, respectively. An inferior PFS was seen in Len-refractory pts (4.6 m). By multivariate analysis, independent predictors of PFS were age ≥70 (HR 0.6), time from diagnosis ≥5 years (HR 0.32), refractoriness to Len in any prior line (HR 3.33), and immediately prior (HR 4.31).
conclusionIRd might be effective and safe in RRMM pts with an indolent disease, in early lines of treatment, and who proved Len-sensitive, independent of age, and cytogenetic risk.
