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

purposeTreatment of relapsed AL amyloidosis remains challenging as patients frequently suffer from severe organ dysfunctions. Daratumumab, a cornerstone drug in multiple myeloma and newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis, has also shown promise in relapsed AL amyloidosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsTo assess the efficacy of daratumumab, we conducted a retrospective study of 40 patients who received daratumumab monotherapy in our prospective amyloidosis cohort.

resultsThe median age of the cohort was 67 years, and 31 patients were classified as stage III/IV by the Mayo 2012 guidelines and 32 patients as stage IIIa/IIIb by the European staging system. The overall hematologic and cardiac response rates were 72.5% and 42.4%, respectively. With median follow-up duration of 26.9 months, the estimated median progression-free survival was 21.9 months. Deep hematologic (p < 0.001) and cardiac response (p = 0.001) were associated with prolonged progression free survival. The duration of hematologic/cardiac responses were 26.2 months and 27.8 months, respectively. The median overall survival was 30.9 months. Treatment was well tolerated, as with 3 patients experiencing grade 3-4 hematologic adverse events and 8 experiencing grade 3-4 non-hematologic adverse events. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest that daratumumab monotherapy provides rapid and durable responses and is generally well tolerated in patients with relapsed AL amyloidosis.
