Optimal number of cycles of bendamustine as initial chemoimmunotherapy for older patients with follicular lymphoma.

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
Bendamustine is among the most commonly used chemoimmunotherapies for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). It is typically delivered with a goal regimen consisting of 6 cycles, but it is possible that treatment goals could be achieved with fewer cycles, particularly in older patients. We used data from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) linkage between Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program and Medicare claims to evaluate the overall survival of patients with FL receiving 3 to 4 vs 5 to 6 cycles of bendamustine. Patients receiving 1 to 2 cycles of bendamustine chemotherapy were not included. Patients receiving 5 to 6 cycles of bendamustine were significantly younger (mean age, 75.0 vs 76.2 years;
