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

Due to the lack of treatment guidelines for the management of advanced-stage marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), only one chemoimmunotherapy-cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone plus rituximab (R-CVP)-is reimbursed in the first-line setting in South Korea. The aim of this study was to develop a consensus-based recommendation for the treatment of patients with advanced-stage MZL. Twelve hematologist oncologists participated in a two-round Delphi process to identify consensus on the management of patients with advanced-stage MZL in South Korea. Physicians rated their level of agreement with each statement on a four-point Likert scale. Statements were divided into two sections: definitions used in clinical practice and clinical management of patients with advanced-stage MZL. Consensus was reached for 23 of 33 (69.7%) and 5 of 13 statements (38.5%) in rounds 1 and 2, respectively. There was strong consensus (91.7%) that advanced-stage MZL subtypes are defined according to the Lugano staging system. First-line systemic treatment should be prescribed for patients with symptomatic advanced-stage MZL. Although there was unanimous agreement that R-CVP is the standard first-line treatment for advanced-stage MZL, physicians also agreed that bendamustine with rituximab (BR) has greater efficacy than R-CVP as first-line treatment (91.7%). For the treatment of relapsed/refractory advanced-stage MZL, BR and R-CVP can be repeated in patients with short (< 24 months) and long remission periods (≥ 24 months), respectively. This study provides insights on the management of patients with advanced-stage MZL in South Korea. This may enhance clinical decision-making, thus improving patient outcomes.
