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

Twenty-two primary central nervous system lymphomas of immunocompetent adults were studied by comparative genomic hybridization. All were high-grade diffuse large B cell lymphomas. Comparative genomic hybridization revealed an average of 5.5 chromosomal changes per tumor, with gains being more common than losses (3.5 vs. 2.0). The most frequent DNA copy number changes were gains on chromosomes 1, 12, 18 (41% each), 7 (23%), and 11 (18%) and losses involving chromosomes 6 (59%), 18, and 20 (18% each). Commonly involved regions were +12q (41%), +18q (36%), +1q (32%), and +7q (23%), as well as -6q (50%), -6p (18%), -17p, and -18p (14% each). High-level gains were found on 7 chromosomes, mainly involving chromosomes 18q (23%), 12q (18%), and 1q (14%). Minimal common regions of over- and underrepresentation were found on +1q25-31, -6q16-21, +7q11.2, +12p11.2-13, +12q12-14, +12q22-24.1, and +18q12.2-21.3. A significant correlation between loss of DNA copy numbers on chromosome 6q and shorter survival could be established (10.2 vs. 22.3 months; P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that chromosomal imbalances of primary central nervous system lymphomas are similar to those of diffuse large B cell lymphomas at other locations and are probably not related to cerebral presentation; however, they may be prognostically relevant.
