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

Burkitt lymphoma is a highly curable disorder when treated with modern intensive chemotherapy regimens. The majority of adult patients with Burkitt lymphoma in the United States are over age 40 years. Older patients have historically been underrepresented in published clinical trials of modern intensive therapy, and the outcome of these patients has not been systematically reported. We therefore obtained and analyzed primary data from 14 Burkitt lymphoma treatment series and confirmed that older patients (age > 40 years) are underrepresented in the literature. Historically inferior outcomes of this age subgroup have improved substantially over time. We conclude that (1) modern intensive chemotherapy regimens should remain the standard of care for patients > age 40 with Burkitt lymphoma; (2) selected patients > age 40 now have highly favorable outcomes; and (3) future studies should include formal analysis of this subgroup of patients.
