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

The TRIANGLE trial established an ibrutinib-containing therapy without autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) as the new standard for younger, treatment-naïve patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, the benefit of rituximab maintenance (RM) within this novel standard is unclear. We investigated whether RM improves progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with acceptable toxicity when added to the experimental arms of TRIANGLE. This secondary analysis of TRIANGLE included patients randomly assigned to ibrutinib-containing therapy without (I) or with (A + I) ASCT who responded to induction/ASCT. RM was given per national and center practice. PFS and OS of patients with and without RM were compared with inverse probability of treatment weighted Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. Among responders after induction/ASCT (I: 274; A + I: 237), RM was given to 61% (I) and 64% (A + I). RM prolonged PFS in ibrutinib-containing treatment arms (I: log-rank test:
