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

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is one of the most common malignancies whose incidence increases, and the treatment results are not satisfactory. The aim of this study was to determine the capacity of NHL to produce MCP-1, chemokine that induces chemotaxis of macrophages and lymphoid cells. The mRNA expression and protein MCP-1 expression were determined in the samples of 20 patients with NHL and 8 reactive tonsils. MCP-1 mRNA was detected in 8/8 tonsils and in 19/20 patients with NHL by real-time PCR analysis. In addition, the amount of detected MCP-1 cDNA was significantly higher in patients with limited stage, good IPI, normal level of fibrinogen and LDH. Finally, in patients with aggressive NHL, the level of MCP-1 cDNA was higher than in indolent tumours. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that majority of stromal elements such as macrophages, endothelial and smooth muscle cells in reactive as well as in neoplastic lymphoid tissue showed strong cytoplasmic MCP-1 expression. Moderate cytoplasmic MCP-1 expression was also observed in reactive lymphocytes, while tumour cells of indolent NHL were mostly pale in comparison with aggressive lymphomas which predominantly demonstrated intense MCP-1 staining. These intriguing preliminary results emphasize the need for further investigations that must be conducted on the representative sample with concordant measurement of serum MCP-1 level.
