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.

Abstract

Background: Tazemetostat, the first enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has shown efficacy in a global population with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). This phase 2 study was primarily designed as a registration-intent bridging trial of tazemetostat in Chinese patients with Methods: This multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 study was conducted at 19 sites in China. Eligible patients (aged ≥18 years) with histologically confirmed grade 1-3a FL were categorised by Findings: Between July 29, 2022, and Aug 31, 2023, 22 patients with Interpretation: These results suggest that tazemetostat has a clinically meaningful efficacy and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with R/R FL. Larger trials are warranted. A multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial of tazemetostat combined with lenalidomide plus rituximab vs. lenalidomide plus rituximab in patients with R/R FL is ongoing (NCT04224493). Funding: HUTCHMED.
