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

backgroundWithin the French-Australian CLL6 RESIDUUM trial, an ancillary study aimed at assessing the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) receiving a two-year consolidation of lenalidomide (LEN) or observation (OBS) after classical immunochemotherapy leaving them with detectable residual disease.

methodsData from French patients involved in this the trial were used here. The EORTC QLQ-C30 version 3 questionnaire was completed by patients at baseline, and then at months 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 after consolidation. Repeated measures mixed-effects models were used to assess HRQoL changes between baseline and each checkpoint for each HRQoL scale.

resultsBaseline data showed overall a good global health status with mean scores of 76.3 and 72.1 in the LEN and OBS arms respectively, on the 0-100 scale. At 12 months, LEN patients had significantly more diarrhea than OBS patients (p = 0.003) and social functioning was significantly impaired at month 18 (p = 0.05). A 10-point difference appeared in the LEN arm for dyspnea and digestive disorders from month 12 on. Multivariate analysis showed a deleterious effect of LEN on global health (p = 0.02) and functional scales (p = 0.003).

conclusionThis study provides HRQoL values in a French cohort of CLL patients in consolidation treatment. Supplementation with lenalidomide as consolidation therapy in CLL leads to late health deterioration, especially diarrhea, after 12 months of treatment. Quantitative assessment of HRQoL should be balanced against benefits in disease control to determine overall health benefits.
