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

Adding ibrutinib to first-line immunochemotherapy (Ibru-R-chemo) showed superiority in younger mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients in the TRIANGLE trial (NCT02858258). To investigate response mechanisms and kinetics across treatment arms, we genotyped 57 patients from cell-free (cf)DNA using targeted-capture sequencing and investigated measurable residual disease (MRD) in cfDNA and peripheral blood by targeted-sequencing and qPCR. Pre-treatment cfDNA and circulating tumor (ct)DNA levels predicted outcomes, and precisely genotyped all patients. Circulating tumor cell (CTC)-clearance was more frequent and rapid than ctDNA-clearance across arms. At interim staging (IS), 55% of patients were ctDNA-positive while 35% and 41% were CTC-positive by qPCR and immunoglobulin gene (IG)-NGS. At end of induction, 43% were ctDNA-positive, while 15% (qPCR) and 25% (IG-NGS) were CTC-positive. MRD by qPCR was most predictive for outcomes. Ibru-R-chemo seemed to overcome TP53
