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

High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard treatment for relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The BEAM regimen is widely used, but the MEAM regimen is more common in Japan due to the unavailability of carmustine. This retrospective analysis evaluated the efficacy of the thiotepa and busulfan (TT/BU) regimen compared with other regimens in 27 patients with systemic DLBCL who underwent ASCT at our institution from December 2013 to March 2022. Fourteen patients received the TT/BU regimen, while 13 received alternative regimens. The TT/BU regimen demonstrated superior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to other regimens, with a 3 year PFS of 84.4% and OS of 91.7%. The TT/BU group also had fewer severe adverse events, particularly regarding renal function. Our findings suggest that the TT/BU regimen is a well-tolerated and effective alternative for relapsed/refractory DLBCL and provide valuable insights for future treatment strategies.
