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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesWhile brentuximab vedotin (BV) and radiotherapy (RTx) are established treatment options for CD30-positive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), data on their simultaneous or sequential use regarding efficacy and tolerability remain scarce. In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated the combination of BV and RTx in patients with CD30-positive CTCL. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe included 14 CD30-positive CTCL patients from six German cancer centers receiving BV; RTx was initiated within a timeframe of 3 months prior/after BV treatment. RTx was mainly applied as a low-dose scheme.

resultsAdverse events of any grade occurred in 71% of patients, most commonly peripheral neuropathy, neutropenia, and radiodermatitis. Thirteen patients achieved a complete or partial remission as best overall response, however, 50% of all patients showed disease progression. At a median follow-up of 14.4 months, median progression-free survival was 12.0 months, with a 1-year rate of 34.0%.

conclusionsThe simultaneous or sequential use of RTx during BV treatment was feasible and well tolerated. Future randomized investigations are needed to identify the benefits of this combination treatment regimen as well as adequate dosing of BV and RTx in a prospective manner.
