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

We analyzed 104 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, follicular or diffuse large-B-cell-type lymphoma, in order to evaluate the correlation between clinical characteristics and immunohistochemical parameters. Immunostaining was performed by means of monoclonal antibodies against Ki-67, bcl-2, and p53 expression. Forty-nine of the patients showed follicular lymphoma. A high expression of bcl-2 was found in 93%, high expression of p53 in 57%, and low expression of Ki-67 in 96%. Follicular lymphoma grade III showed a p53 expression (p = 0.07) slightly higher than follicular lymphoma grades I and II, not reaching statistical significance. Follicular lymphoma grades I and II tended to express lower Ki-67 and higher levels of bcl-2 expression than grade III (p = 0.06). Fifty-five cases showed diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma. Among them, bcl-2 was absent in 39%, whereas p53 and Ki-67 expression were high in 38%. In the diffuse large-B-cell lymphomas, a high bcl-2 expression correlated with stages III and IV (p = 0.03) and involvement of more than one extranodal area (p = 0.03). High Ki-67 expression was also associated to extranodal involvement of more than one area (p = 0.03). Overall survival of patients did not show statistically significant differences regarding Ki-67, bcl-2, and p53 tumoral expression. Prognostic factors for overall survival in the multivariate analysis were age (p = 0.02) and LDH (p = 0.003). Time to progression was worse among follicular lymphoma with high p53 expression than with mild/moderate p53 expression (p = 0.009).
