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 evaluated the usefulness of prognostic markers in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisolone (CHOP) +/- rituximab (R-CHOP) in Japan. We studied 730 patients with DLBCL; 451 received CHOP and 279 R-CHOP. We analyzed biopsy samples immunohistochemically for markers of germinal center B cells (CD10, Bcl-6), postgerminal center B cells (Multiple myeloma-1), and apoptosis (Bcl-2). The median follow-up period for surviving patients was 56.4 months for the CHOP group and 25.2 months for the R-CHOP group. DLBCL were categorized as germinal center B (GCB) subtype (352/730; 48.2%) or non-GCB subtype (378/730; 51.8%). In the CHOP group, the high expression of CD10 (P = 0.022) or Bcl-6 (P = 0.021), or GCB subtype (P = 0.05) was associated with better overall survival, whereas the high expression of Bcl-2 (P = 0.001) or MUM1 (P = 0.011), or non-GCB subtype (P = 0.05) was associated with worse overall survival. In the R-CHOP group, however, these biomarkers except Bcl-6 were not significant prognostic factors. The patients with non-GCB subtype showed improved survival in the R-CHOP group (P = 0.756). The International Prognostic Index was a useful clinical marker of survival in the CHOP group (P < 0.001) and also in the R-CHOP group (P < 0.001). Results of improved survival with rituximab addition indicate that the relevance of previously recognized prognostic factors should be re-evaluated.
