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

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is a relatively rare form of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, termed Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM) in the presence of an IgM paraprotein. Although traditionally treated with combination chemoimmunotherapy, the management is evolving in the era of targeted molecular therapies including Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi). However, intolerance and refractoriness to BTKi mean newer agents are required, and the prognosis of so-called quadruple-refractory patients is poor. BCL2 is an anti-apoptotic, pro-survival protein that promotes lymphoma cell survival. Inhibition of BCL2 using first-in-class agent venetoclax has already altered the treatment paradigm in other conditions, including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
