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

introductionWe previously reported that serum concentrations of soluble Fas (sFas) predict the clinical outcome of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after treatment with CHOP but without rituximab (R). Here, we investigated whether the role of sFas as a prognostic factor remains valid in the R-CHOP era. PATIENTS: We treated 132 patients with DLBCL between October 1995 and September 2002 (group A: without rituximab), and 75 between December 2002 and March 2007 (group B: with rituximab). The patients received eight cycles of CHOP or THP (tetrahydropyranyl-adriamycin)-COP before September 2002, and R-CHOP or R-THP-COP after October 2002. The distribution of patients according to the International Prognostic Index did not significantly differ between the groups.

resultsThe 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients with sFas levels of > or = 3.0 and <3.0 ng/ml in group A were 19.8 and 61.9% (P < 0.0001), whereas the 3-year OS rates in group B were 54.7 and 92.2% (P < 0.01), respectively. Multivariate analysis using the proportional hazards model revealed that sFas most significantly correlated with overall survival (P < 0.05).

conclusionSerum sFas is thus a useful tool for selecting the appropriate therapeutic strategy for DLBCL.
