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

Most patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) can achieve long-term survival with frontline combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but approximately 10%-30% of patients will develop relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease. High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) combined with brentuximab vedotin (BV) maintenance therapy improves patient prognosis. However, the management of relapse after ASCT remains a challenge. This report presents a case of a patient with relapsed cHL after ASCT who was successfully treated with targeted therapy combined with two epigenetic modulators. A 26-year-old male patient was diagnosed with stage IIA cHL and received five-line treatment, including ABVD, GemOx-D, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, anti-CD47/PD-L1 bispecific antibodies, and BV combined with ICE, ultimately achieving first complete remission (CR). The patient subsequently underwent peripheral blood ASCT and BV maintenance therapy. However, 16 months post transplantation, disease relapse was detected on follow-up PET/CT scan. The patient subsequently received 6 cycles of the Ven-Chi-Dec regimen (venetoclax combined with chidamide and decitabine), achieving complete metabolic remission (CMR) with no significant adverse effects. This case report suggests that the Ven-Chi-Dec regimen may be a potential treatment for patients with R/R cHL after ASCT, although further studies are needed to validate its efficacy.
