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

backgroundThe optimal dosing schedule for daratumumab (Dara) in newly diagnosed systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis requires refinement. This real-world study compared the efficacy and safety of a frequency-adjusted, cyclophosphamide-free Dara-based regimen with bortezomib/dexamethasone (BD).

methodsWe included newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis patients treated between January 2018 and December 2024, with follow-up data censored in August 2025. Using 1:1 propensity score matching based on age, cardiac stage, dFLC, and organ function, we compared hematologic/organ responses and survival. Survival was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. The Dara-based group received a cyclophosphamide-free regimen with an adjusted schedule (biweekly in cycle 1, then monthly) and a response-guided treatment duration.

resultsA total of 105 patients were included. After propensity score matching, 60 patients (30 per group) were selected for comparative analysis. The Dara-based group achieved significantly higher hematologic complete response (CR) rates at 6 months (57% vs. 27%,

conclusionA frequency-adjusted Dara-based regimen induces significantly faster and deeper hematologic and organ responses compared to BD in newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis which offers a promising personalized approach to reduce treatment burden and adverse events while maintaining high efficacy, supporting its integration into clinical practice for a broader patient population.
