Outcome for young high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma patients treated with CHOEP-14 and rituximab (R-CHOEP-14).
Article in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo study the effectiveness and tolerability of a dose-intensified treatment including rituximab for patients, not older than 65 yr, with high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma. PATIENTS: Thirty-eight patients with high-risk aggressive B-cell lymphoma, the majority classified as grade 2 or 3 using age-adjusted International Prognostic Index, were treated with six courses of CHOEP + rituximab on a 2-wk schedule with G-CSF d 4-11. CNS prophylaxis was administered using intravenous Ara-C as a single dose at the end of treatment.
resultsAll patients were considered responders after three courses. Thirty-one patients (82%) achieved a complete remission or a complete remission unverified. With a median follow up of 27 mo, overall and event-free survival are 79% and 60%, respectively. Treatment was given on an outpatient basis. There were no treatment- related unexpected toxic events or mortalities. Large-cell lymphoma involvement of the bone marrow was a poor prognostic sign even with this intensified treatment and 4/6 patients relapsed. CNS relapse occurred in three patients, two of whom had large cell bone marrow involvement.
conclusionAlthough only a short follow up, the R-CHOEP-14 regimen is promising and could be an improvement compared to conventional treatment, with acceptable toxicity. The value of intravenous Ara-C at the end of treatment can be questioned, as it did not prevent CNS relapse or affect treatment outcome.
