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

An association between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and mycosis fungoides (MF) or lymphomatoid papulosis has been reported in the literature. However, there can be considerable morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap between cHL and nodal involvement by CD30-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (CD30-T-LPD). To examine this potential association, biopsies from patients with a history of MF or primary cutaneous CD30-T-LPD and lymph node biopsies reported as either CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma (TCL) with Hodgkin-like cells or cHL were retrieved from the authors' institution. Of 11 cases identified, 10 were considered CD30-positive TCL with Hodgkin-like cells, whereas 1 was confirmed as cHL upon review. Five cases originally diagnosed as cHL were revised as CD30-positive TCL. Cases of CD30-positive TCL with Hodgkin-like cells showed a male predominance (M:F, 4:1) with a median age of 53 years (range, 44 to 72 y). Nearly all patients (9/10) initially presented with skin lesions. In 7/10 patients the draining lymph node was involved, whereas in 3 cases this could not be confirmed. Tumor cells morphologically resembled Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells; they were uniformly strongly positive for CD30, and CD15 was expressed in 9/10 (90%) cases. A T-cell derivation was confirmed by T-cell antigen expression (7/10) and clonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor genes (9/10). In 3 cases a common T-cell clone was identified in skin and lymph node. B-cell markers (CD20/PAX5) were consistently negative. In 1 case the diagnosis of cHL followed by lymphomatoid papulosis was confirmed, with Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells expressing PAX5, CD30, and CD15. In situ hybridization studies for Epstein Barr virus were negative. We show that cHL is less often associated with MF and primary cutaneous CD30-T-LPD than previously thought and that the coexpression of CD30 and CD15 in these TCLs may lead to a mistaken diagnosis of cHL.
