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

We performed a cohort study that included all patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL) who received ibrutinib in the Italian National Health Service. With a median follow-up of 42.2 months (IQR 30.8-54.6 months), the study involved 3306 patients with a median age of 72.1 years, of whom 42.6% had received ≥2 previous lines of treatment. The estimated 24-month probabilities of being on treatment and alive were 57.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 59.6-56.2) and 76.6% (95% CI: 75.2-78.1), respectively. The median time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) was 31.3 months (95% CI: 29.5-33.5). Out of 3306 patients, 2015 (60.9%) discontinued treatment, with 993 cases attributed to death or disease progression (30.0% of all cases). Among the 1022 patients who discontinued treatment for reasons other than progression or death, 564 (17.1%) patients did so due to toxicity or medical decision, while 458 patients (13.8%) were lost to follow-up. Multivariable analysis revealed that age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status, the number of previous lines of therapy, refractoriness to the last treatment, and reduced renal function were associated with shorter TTD and overall survival (OS). The coexistence of 17p- and
