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

backgroundDouble-expressor lymphoma (DEL) has a poorer prognosis than other subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, phase 2 clinical study initiated by investigators to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined zanubrutinib with R-CHOP, which includes rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone for patients with DEL (stage II or more), as well as to explore factors related to efficacy preliminarily.

methodsFrom November 2020 to July 2022, 48 newly diagnosed patients were enrolled. All patients received twice-daily oral zanubrutinib (160 mg) for 6 months and standardized R-CHOP regimen for six to eight cycles.

resultsThe objective response rate (ORR) was 89.6%, with a complete response rate (CRR) of 83.3%. The median follow-up was 29.3 months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached. The PFS and OS were 81.25% and 93.75% at 2 years, respectively. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 23 of 48 (47.9%) patients. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) results of 33 patients showed that TP53, MYD88, and PIM1 were the most common mutated gene. Multivariate analysis revealed that BCL-6 gene rearrangement was an adverse prognostic factor for both PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.247; 95% confidence article [CI], 0.068-0.9; p = .034) and OS (HR, 0.057; 95% CI, 0.006-0.591; p = .016), whereas the number of extranodal involvements also significantly influenced OS (HR, 15.12; 95% CI, 1.07-213.65; p = .044).

conclusionsZanubrutinib in combination with R-CHOP is an effective option for DEL patients, and the toxicity of zanubrutinib is entirely acceptable for patients.
