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

aimsA histopathological review of 43 cases of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in an attempt to identify histological variables of prognostic importance.

methodEach case was reclassified according to the Working Formulation and an attempt made to allocate an immunophenotype using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Results were correlated with clinical data on site and survival.

resultsOf the 43 cases, 30 were males and 13 females. There were 17 cases of lymphoblastic lymphoma, 15 cases of small non-cleaved cell lymphoma (SNCC), and four cases of large cell lymphoma. The SNCC group was subdivided into 10 cases of Burkitt's lymphoma and five cases of non-Burkitt's lymphoma. An immunophenotype was allocated in 65.1% of cases (23 B, 5 T). The SNCC cases were spread throughout the 0-16 year age range while the lymphoblastic lymphoma cases tended to occur in older children. Most mediastinal tumours were lymphoblastic lymphoma and most abdominal tumours were SNCC. Statistical analysis failed to show a significant difference in survival among histological subgroups or immunophenotypes.

conclusionNo histological variables of prognostic importance were identified partly due to the great variation in treatment regimens, standard of supportive care, and prognosis over the period of the study (1972 to 1988).
