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

A 60-year-old Japanese woman who presented with right nasal congestion and high fever was admitted to our hospital in March 1999. She was diagnosed with nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma clinical stage IVB. Because her NK/T-cell lymphoma was highly aggressive and chemo-resistant, she underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). The patient received a pretransplantation conditioning regimen of ranimustine, etoposide, carboplatin, and cyclophosphamide. On July 29, 1999, 1.0 x 10(6)/kg CD34+ cells were infused. The patient achieved first complete remission. In January 2000, NK/T-cell lymphoma relapsed in the skin and fever developed. CHOP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisolone) was administered, resulting in partial regression of the skin lesions, but fever persisted. L-asparaginase (L-Asp) at a dose of 6,000 U/m2 per day was administered for 7 days, resulting in the complete disappearance of the skin lesions and resolution of the fever. The patient has been in second complete remission for more than 18 months since the completion of L-Asp treatment (as of July 2001). The effect of L-Asp in this patient was dramatic. Several cases have been reported describing the effectiveness of L-Asp in patients with nasal lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A front-line chemotherapy regimen containing L-Asp for NK/T-cell lymphoma may warrant further evaluation.
