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

backgroundApprovals of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) and other novel agents have changed the Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) treatment paradigm, necessitating assessment of contemporaneous, real-world (rw) treatment and outcomes by line of therapy (LOT).

methodsPatients diagnosed with MCL on or after 1 January 2012 who initiated first-line (1 L) treatment in the COTA database were eligible, excluding those with concurrent primaries, history of hematologic malignancies, clinical trial participation, or missing/imprecise key dates. Rw time to next treatment (rwTTNT) and overall survival (rwOS) were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method from LOT start (index).

resultsOf 499 patients, most were ≥ 50 years (94.8%), male (71.5%), treated in the community (58.7%), and diagnosed with stage III/IV disease (91.2%). The most common 1 L regimen was bendamustine+rituximab (BR)±R maintenance (12.6%/23.0%, respectively). Fifty (10.0%) patients received 1 L autologous stem cell transplant. One hundred and seventy-three patients (34.7%) received 2 L, of which 72 (41.6% of 2 L) received 3 L, of which 29 (40.3% of 3 L) received 4 L +. BTKi monotherapy was the most frequently administered therapy in 2 L (26.0%).Median rwTTNT and rwOS from 1 L to 4 L were 36.8-3.2 and 86.2-8.7 months, respectively.

conclusionsOutcomes of patients who received 2 L+ for MCL remain poor, highlighting unmet need in the contemporary treatment paradigm.
