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

The regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone, known as CHOP therapy, has been established as the standard treatment for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Although patients categorized as low (L) and low-intermediate (L-I) risk using the International Prognostic Index have favorable prognoses in Western countries, the efficacy and safety of CHOP therapy has not been prospectively evaluated in Japan. We conducted a phase II study of CHOP in L and L-I risk Japanese patients, evaluating overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoint. A total of 213 patients were enrolled and treated with eight courses of CHOP. Efficacy was evaluated in 168 eligible patients (L risk, 87; L-I risk, 81). Five-year OS rates in all eligible, L, and L-I risk patients were 68 % [95 % confidence interval (CI): 61-76 %], 73 % (95 % CI: 63-82 %), and 64 % (95 % CI: 53-74 %), respectively. The major toxicity observed was grade 4 neutropenia (64 %). Grade 4 non-hematological toxicities were observed as follows: one case each of paralytic ileus, convulsions, hypoxemia due to interstitial pneumonia, and reactivated fulminant hepatitis B. These results show reasonable efficacy and safety of the CHOP regimen in Japanese patients with lower risk aggressive NHL (UMIN-CTR Number C000000053).
