RENOIR phase 3 rituximab-lenalidomide vs rituximab as maintenance treatment in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.
Trial report in Blood advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02390869 (A Randomized Phase III Multicenter Trial Assessing Efficacy and Toxicity of a Combination of Rituximab and Lenalidomide), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
abstractMaintenance treatment in older patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) remains an area of investigation. RENOIR was a multicenter, phase 3, open-label randomized trial conducted by the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) in older patients with R/R FL after 1 or 2 previous therapies. Patients achieving partial response or complete response (CR) after 4 to 6 cycles of standard rituximab (R)-based chemotherapy were randomized 1:1 to maintenance with R alone (standard arm) or R plus lenalidomide (R2; experimental arm). The primary end point was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) from randomization, with an expected hazard ratio (HR) of 0.5. A total of 152 patients (median age, 71 years) were enrolled. After induction, 129 (85%) achieved an overall response (CR, 58%) and were randomized to R (n = 65) or R2 (n = 64). At a median follow-up of 68 months, the 2-year PFS was 73% in the R2 arm and 64% in the R arm. An unplanned hypothesis-generating subgroup analysis showed a greater 2-year PFS benefit with R2 in patients aged <70 years: R2, 96% vs R, 69%. Two-year overall survival rates were similar (R2, 80% vs R, 89%). Grade 3/4 adverse events were more frequent in R2, mainly neutropenia and gastrointestinal disorders. In conclusion, the primary end point of the study was not met, and R2 maintenance did not significantly improve 2-year PFS in older patients with R/R FL, although a numerical benefit was observed. R2 showed a more favorable benefit-risk profile in patients aged <70 years, whereas in older patients careful consideration of individual tolerability is warranted. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02390869.
