Mitoxantrone-Based Novel Conditioning Regimen Leads to Great Survival Benefit in Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Compared to BEAM Regimen.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPeripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) frequently result in relapsed or refractory diseases. Upfront autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) using the BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) regimen is recommended. However, relapses are common in PTCL, highlighting a critical need for improved survival outcomes in these patients.
objectiveAnthracycline drugs are essential in treating PTCL. We compared the efficacy and tolerability of a high-dose mitoxantrone-based conditioning regimen [mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide (MCE)] to the BEAM regimen in upfront ASCT for newly diagnosed PTCL patients who achieved complete or partial remission after induction therapy. STUDY
designA retrospective study was conducted to analyze the treatment response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), hematologic engraftment time, and adverse events of 64 patients between two regimens, who achieved complete or partial remission after induction chemotherapy. Twenty-eight patients received the MCE regimen, while 36 patients were treated with the BEAM regimen.
resultsThere were no significant differences in clinical characteristics or the incidence of adverse events between the two groups. However, the median OS significantly favored the MCE group at 102.4 (95% CI, 87.0-117.8) months compared to 62.6 (95% CI, 50.8-74.5) months in the BEAM group (p = 0.023). Similarly, the median PFS was longer in the MCE group at 87.8 (95% CI, 65.8-109.8) months versus 42.5 (95% CI, 30.0-55.0) months in the BEAM group (p = 0.031).
conclusionASCT with the mitoxantrone-based conditioning regimen is tolerable and appears to significantly improve the prognosis of PTCL patients, offering a promising alternative to the current standard of care.
