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

This review considers in detail the descriptive and aetiological epidemiology of Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), with attention to histological subcategories when the literature allows. The aetiology of Hodgkin's disease remains only partially understood. There is evidence that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may be involved in the causation of some cases, and clinical immune deficiency is a risk factor for a few, but the evidence is not entirely consistent and other factors may also be important in causing the EBV-associated cases of Hodgkin's disease. The cause of EBV-unassociated cases remains obscure. For NHL, although it has been shown that some cases are related to immune deficiency and chronic antigenic stimulation, and especially to EBV in the context of immune deficiency, the causation of the majority of cases remains unknown. The increasing incidence of NHL, other than that related to AIDS, is also essentially unexplained. Epidemiological investigation of the aetiology of NHL and Hodgkin's disease is making steady progress, however, and there remain leads to be followed that may result in a better understanding and hence prevention.
