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

backgroundFrontline (1L) treatment for transplant-eligible (TE) newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) has shifted from triplet (e.g. bortezomib [V], lenalidomide [R], dexamethasone [d]) to quadruplet (e.g. daratumumab with VRd [DVRd]) regimens, based on improved efficacy demonstrated in pivotal trials. This real-world study compared progression-free survival (PFS) in TE patients with NDMM treated with DVRd plus DR or R maintenance (DVRd-DR/R) versus VRd plus R maintenance (VRd-R).

methodsAdult TE patients with NDMM who initiated DVRd-DR/R or VRd-R between 1 January 2020 and 30 June 2022 were identified through a retrospective chart review at 10 US sites. PFS was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analyses and propensity score-weighted hazard ratios (HR) were estimated using Cox regression.

resultsOverall, 137 patients received DVRd-DR/R and 86 received VRd-R. Over a median follow-up of 26.7 and 39.8 months among the DVRd-DR/R and VRd-R cohorts, respectively, 11 (9.1%) and 32 (29.7%) patients experienced disease progression or death. Median PFS was not reached in either cohort. DVRd-DR/R versus VRd-R was associated with 63% lower risk of disease progression or death (weighted HR: 0.37, 95% confidence interval: 0.17-0.80,

conclusionFindings aligned with pivotal trials, demonstrating the significant PFS benefit of 1L DVRd over VRd and supporting its real-world use for TE NDMM.
