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

Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies dramatically improve the prognosis in immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, yet patients with end-stage (Mayo 2004 IIIB) disease are typically excluded from prospective trials. To evaluate the daratumumab plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (Dara-VD) regimen in Mayo 2004 stage III patients, we conducted a prospective phase 2 trial including 20 stage IIIA and 20 stage IIIB patients. The long-term follow-up results are reported here. The 24-month haematological complete response (CR) and very good partial response (VGPR) rate were 52.5% and 12.5% respectively. Organ responses improved after 12 months; the 24-month cardiac CR and VGPR rates were 15.0% and 35.0%. After a median follow-up of 50.9 months, 16 patients died and 10 patients had progressive diseases. The median overall survival (OS) had not been reached in either group, with a 4-year OS rate of 60.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 45.2%-75.2%). The median event-free survival (EFS) was 33.5 months (95% CI 21.0-46.0 months), with a 4-year EFS rate of 37.5% (95% CI: 24.3-54.7). No significant difference in OS or EFS was observed between stage IIIA and IIIB patients. In conclusion, the strong anti-plasma cell regimen Dara-VD provides comparable long-term responses and prognosis for Mayo stage IIIB patients.
