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

Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a rare lymphoplasmacytic disease that is hallmarked by B-cell infiltration of the bone marrow, an overexpression of IgM class antibodies and an activating mutation of MYD88 (L265P). The therapeutic options for WM patients include a combination of Rituximab (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody) and chemotherapy, with newer treatments like proteasomal inhibitors and Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors showing high levels of success both as monotherapy and in combinations. To date, WM remains incurable. Understanding the basic physiology of WM and creating new and improved pre-clinical models which better reflect the true physiology of WM will allow for the identification of novel therapeutic vulnerabilities and the ability to test these next generation therapies, both in a tumour intrinsic and extrinsic manner. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive summary of WM, focusing on the genetic mutations and signalling pathways driving disease progression. In addition, we highlight the current therapeutics and emerging clinical trials to provide novel insights to drive deep and durable responses.
