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
Background: The optimal goal in the management of refractory/relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R-cHL) is to obtain minimal disease status before stem cell transplantation (SCT). The efficiency of BEGEV (bendamustin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine) regimen is well-established as first-line salvage therapy in earlier studies. The search for novel treatment continues for patients with limited options in later lines. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of BEGEV regimen in heavily pretreated, platinum-resistant, R/R-cHL. Methods: In this single-center retrospective trial, patients diagnosed with R/R-cHL between 2018 and 2023 were analyzed. Patients who received BEGEV in third- or fourth-line treatment were eligible. Patient's demographic characteristics, pathology results, treatment and survival outcomes were recorded. Overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and toxicity were analyzed. Results: A total of 31 patients were included in this study. 27 (87.2%) patients were treated with BEGEV in the 3rd line and 4 (12.8%) patients were treated in the 4th line. The results show an ORR of 90.3%, with 54.9% achieving complete response. The median PFS and OS after the BEGEV regimen was 20.2 (range 15-23.6) and 23.2 (range 15.4-40.8) months, respectively. The regimen demonstrated acceptable toxicity, with the most common severe adverse events being neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. SCT was successfully performed in 100% of the patients after BEGEV treatment. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that BEGEV is a viable and effective treatment option for heavily pretreated, platinum-resistant R/R-cHL patients, particularly in regions with limited access to novel therapies.
