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

This study reports a case of cold agglutinin disease (CAD) secondary to lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma in a patient intolerant to rituximab plus bendamustine and with persistent uncontrolled hemolysis following zanubrutinib therapy. The addition of the complement C3 inhibitor iptacopan to a cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone regimen successfully controlled hemolysis and improved hemoglobin levels. Within one week of treatment, the patient achieved transfusion independence, with hemoglobin increasing from 67 g/L to 90 g/L by week 3 and 101 g/L by week 7, alongside normalized bilirubin levels and no adverse events. The follow-up period was 4 months, during which the patient showed sustained remission. These findings suggest that iptacopan can rapidly ameliorate hemolysis in CAD, warranting further investigation into its therapeutic potential.
