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

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive lymphoma with accepted risk factors such as proliferation markers. To date, the different follicular dendritic cell (FDC) patterns have never been analyzed in comparison with the overall survival time. Lymph node biopsy specimens from 96 patients were analyzed by conventional morphology and immunohistochemistry with antibodies against cluster differentiation (CD)20, CD5, CD23, cyclin D1, and FDC (Ki-M4P). Two groups can be distinguished with different FDC patterns: a nodular pattern in 79 cases and a diffuse pattern in 17 cases. A Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significantly better survival for the nodular group (p=0.0312). This group was subdivided into a group with a nodular FDC pattern similar to the FDC distribution in primary follicles (PF-nodular in 72 cases) and one with a nodular FDC pattern resembling the colonization of germinal centers (GCs) by tumor cells (GC-nodular in seven cases). A Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with MCL with a PF-nodular FDC pattern had a significantly better clinical outcome than patients with the other two patterns (p=0.0033). If only cases with classical cytology (n=79) were analyzed (blastoid types excluded), patients with a PF-nodular FDC pattern had a better clinical outcome (p=0.0008). The distribution of FDC in MCL is a diagnostic tool for identifying patients with a better clinical prognosis.
