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

Treatment-refractory autoimmune cytopenias (AIC) including immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), and Evans syndrome (ES) lack therapies providing durable remission. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 22 adults with refractory primary AIC who received single low-dose daratumumab (100 mg, day 0) combined with rituximab (100 mg weekly ×4 doses) and glucocorticoids. Primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), complete response rate (CRR), relapse-free survival (RFS), and safety. Among participants (median age 63.0 years; 81.8% female), 95.5% achieved initial response (CRR 27.3%; partial response rate 68.2%) with median time-to-response 7 days. At median follow-up 322 days, sustained ORR was 81.8% with CRR 59.1%. with disease-specific rates: CRR/ORR of 60.0%/80.0% (AIHA), 60.0%/70.0% (ITP), and 57.1%/100.0% (ES). Cumulative CRR by subtype were 75% (AIHA), 80% (ITP), and 65.7% (ES) (P = 0.031). The median RFS was not reached during the follow-up period. Averse events occurred in 36.4% of patients, primarily infections (27.8%; herpesvirus, urinary/respiratory tract) and rash (9.1%); all resolved with intervention. In conclusion, this dual-pathway targeting regimen induced rapid, durable hematologic responses in refractory AIC with manageable toxicity. The single low-dose daratumumab approach demonstrates significant clinical feasibility, potentially redefining therapeutic paradigms for antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders.
