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

The frontline treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) varies in practice. We conducted a retrospective, population-based study of patients with MCL from 2005 to 2020. We defined transplant-eligible (TE) patients as those aged <70 years who received R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) or R-CHOP/R-DHAP (rituximab, dexamethasone, high-dose cytarabine and dexamethasone) and transplant-ineligible (TI) patients as those aged ≥70 years and treated with bendamustine-rituximab (BR) or other chemoimmunotherapy regimens. The primary outcome was 5-year overall survival (OS), and secondary outcomes included toxicities and health care use. We identified 426 TE patients, of whom 254 received R-CHOP and 172 received R-CHOP/R-DHAP. More patients who received R-CHOP/R-DHAP also received an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The 5-year OS for patients treated with R-CHOP/R-DHAP was 70.5% compared with 62.0% for patients treated with R-CHOP, regardless of transplant status. R-CHOP/R-DHAP had more hospital admissions for fever, infection, neutropenia, and renal toxicity. TI patients received BR (n = 303) or historical regimens (n = 189). BR was associated with lower mortality. After adjustment, maintenance rituximab was associated with significantly lower mortality (hazard ratio, 0.33; 95% confidence interval, 0.24-0.44). More patients treated with BR had hospital admissions for febrile neutropenia. In this large population-based study, R-CHOP/R-DHAP before ASCT showed a trend toward improved 5-year OS. BR did not result in superior OS after adjustment, suggesting other regimens followed by rituximab maintenance may be reasonable.
