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
Background: Approximately 10%-30% of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) experience relapse or refractory (R/R) disease after first-line standard therapy. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have important roles in the salvage treatment of R/R HL. However, subsequent treatment for HL refractory to BV and/or ICI treatment is challenging. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients in two institutions who had R/R HL, experienced BV or ICI treatment failure, and received radiotherapy (RT) thereafter. The overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Results: Overall, 19 patients were enrolled. First-line systemic therapy comprised doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD, 84.2%); AVD plus ICIs (10.5%); and bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP, 5.3%). After first-line therapy, 15 (78.9%) and four patients (21.1%) had refractory disease and relapsed, respectively. After R/R HL diagnosis, six (31.6%), two (10.5%), and 11 (57.9%) patients received BV and ICIs concurrently, BV monotherapy, and ICI monotherapy, respectively. All patients received intensity-modulated RT ( Conclusion: RT is effective and safe for treating HL refractory to BV or ICIs and has the potential to be part of a comprehensive strategy for HL.
