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

Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare, acquired protein misfolding disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin light chain fibrils, resulting in organ damage. Treatment is based on anti-plasma cell regimens derived from multiple myeloma therapy. To date, no approved regimens exist for relapsed/refractory cases. This retrospective multicenter study, performed at 11 centers across Germany, evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of the treatment with teclistamab in 52 patients with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis. Hematologic response (≥very good partial response [VGPR]) was achieved in 81% of patients at Day 15, which increased to 95% at 3 months. Flow-minimal residual disease (MRD) was negative in 96% (23/24) of cases. Cardiac and renal responses (≥partial response [PR]) at 6 months were 65% and 78%, respectively. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 37% of cases, with two classified as Grade 3 and none as Grade 4. Neutropenia Grade 3 or 4 occurred in 5/52 (10%) of patients. The 1-year overall survival was 83%, and the median overall survival was not reached after a median follow-up time of 8.8 months. Factors including difference between involved and non-involved free light chains (dFLC) ≥ 180 mg/L, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) ≥ 8500 pg/mL, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 20 mL/min/1.73 m
