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

abstractUse of brentuximab vedotin (BV) and PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) could impact the benefit of post-ASCT BV maintenance in relapsed/refractory (R/R) classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). We identified 1091 patients with R/R cHL who underwent ASCT between 2010-2022. In total, 244 (22%) received a PD-1 mAb and 443 (41%) received BV before ASCT, while 305 (28%) received BV maintenance. We performed 1:1 propensity score matching to assess the efficacy of BV maintenance in different patient subgroups. Among 608 matched patients, the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 73% (95% confidence interval [CI], 70-78) and 95% (95%CI, 93-97), respectively. BV maintenance was associated with improved PFS for patients with no exposure to novel agents, especially those with 2+ modified AETHERA risk factors (0-1 factors: hazard ratio (HR), 0.51; 95%CI, 0.24-1.09; P =.083; 2+ factors: HR, 0.40; 95%CI, 0.25-0.65; P< .001). In contrast, BV maintenance was not associated with a significant PFS benefit for any patient subgroup who received novel agents before ASCT (BV-treated, 0-1: HR, 1.43; 95%CI, 0.53-3.81; P =.48; 2+: HR, 0.79; 95%CI, 0.34-1.82; P =.58; PD-1-treated, 0-1 [P>.99], 2+: HR, 0.25; 95%CI, 0.03-2.14; P =.21). In particular, we observed excellent outcomes for patients undergoing ASCT in a complete response after one line of PD-1-based salvage treatment with no significant benefit for BV maintenance observed (2-year PFS 100% vs 95%; P>.99). The benefit of BV maintenance appears to be attenuated for patients receiving novel agents with salvage therapy. Omission of BV maintenance should be considered for patients anticipated to have excellent outcomes.
