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

purposeBrentuximab vedotin (BV) represents a therapeutic advancement in the treatment of CD30-positive lymphomas, yet its clinical utility is often limited by BV-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN). Currently, evidence-based, BV-specific guidelines for the assessment and management of PN are scarce, resulting in variability in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish international expert consensus on the optimal assessment, monitoring and management strategies for BV-induced PN in patients with lymphoma.

methodsA modified Delphi panel was conducted, engaging a total of 13 experts from eight different countries and representing haematology, neurology, dermatology, nursing and allied health disciplines. Panellists participated in three rounds of structured surveys, with statements developed based on a targeted literature review and guidance from an expert steering committee. Consensus was defined as ≥ 70% agreement/disagreement. Consensus was achieved on 60/87 (69%) statements across domains including risk factor assessment, symptom monitoring, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical management.

resultsKey recommendations include routine risk profiling before BV initiation, use of validated assessment tools at baseline and throughout therapy, multidisciplinary collaboration, and early intervention for worsening PN. Areas of uncertainty and variability in PN management remain, particularly regarding management of intermediate-grade PN and optimal non-pharmacological strategies.

conclusionThese international consensus recommendations provide practical guidance for improving clinical management of BV-induced PN and highlight the importance of early identification, personalised care and multidisciplinary collaboration. Further research is needed to address persistent gaps and inform future clinical guidelines.
