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

backgroundThe most frequent cytogenetic alteration in gastrointestinal (GI) B cell lymphoma (BCL) is t(11;18)(q21;q21). GI B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas lacking this translocation vary in their biology and clinical outcome. The t(11;18) negative subgroup shows increased numerical changes of chromosome 18, although its clinical relevance remains unknown.

methodsThirty surgically resected primary GI BCLs were examined-11 low grade marginal zone mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, four marginal zone lymphomas with diffuse large BCL (DLBCL), and 15 de novo DLBCLs. Chromosome 18 aberrations were examined using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Trisomy 18 was studied applying a centromere 18 probe and a dual colour probe for the MALT1 gene at 18q21.

resultsUsing the MALT1 probe, only one marginal zone MALT lymphoma had a break apart pattern, indicating t(11;18) or variants. In the GI BCLs lacking MALT1 breaks, trisomy 18q21 was seen in seven patients (four with complete trisomy 18 and three with partial trisomy of 18q21). Trisomy 18q21 was found in two of 10 low grade MALT lymphomas and five of 19 GI BCLs with large cell component. Six of 17 patients with trisomy 18q21 presented with >/= stage II and one of 12 with stage I disease. Trisomy 18q21 was associated with significantly shorter disease specific survival in the whole group and GI BCLs with large cell component, but not in the low grade group.

conclusionsTrisomy 18q21, including MALT1, may be associated with advanced tumour stage and may be a predictor of poor outcome in surgically resected primary GI BCLs.
