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

We report the results of two prospective phase II studies investigating the role of high-dose sequential chemotherapy, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in 62 patients with advanced stage peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) at diagnosis. Conditioning regimen consisted of mitoxantrone (60 mg/m2) and melphalan (180 mg/m2) or carmustine, etoposide, Ara-C and melphalan followed by peripheral blood stem cell autografting. In an intent-to-treat analysis, 46 out of 62 patients (74%) completed the whole programme, whereas 16 patients did not undergo ASCT, mainly because of disease progression. At a median follow-up of 76 months, the estimated 12-year overall (OS), disease-free and event-free survival (EFS) were 34, 55 and 30%, respectively. OS and EFS were significantly better in patients with anaplastic lymphoma-kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), as compared with the remaining PTCL. Multivariate analysis showed that patients attaining complete remission (CR) before ASCT had a statistically significant benefit in terms of OS and EFS (P<0.0001). Overall treatment-related mortality rate was 4.8%. In conclusion, our findings indicate (1) up-front high-dose therapy and ASCT are feasible, but could induce a high rate of long-term CR only in patients with ALK-positive ALCL and (2) the achievement of CR before autografting is a strong predictor of better survival.
