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

backgroundTreatment of pediatric lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (LPHL) is controversial but has typically consisted of both chemotherapy and radiation. Radiation therapy is associated with potential late effects in children and adolescents. We examined the impact of radiation therapy on long-term outcome of patients with LPHL treated on CCG-5942, a large pediatric cooperative group study of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). PROCEDURE: Eighty-two patients with LPHL were registered on CCG-5942. Fifty-two patients (63%) received chemotherapy alone; 29 patients (35%) received chemotherapy followed by involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT).

resultsThe median follow-up of the LPHL patients is 7.7 years; 63 patients (77%) have >5 years of follow-up. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 97% and 100%. Two relapses occurred, both in patients who did not receive IFRT. There were no significant differences in EFS or OS between patients who received or did not receive IFRT.

conclusionsThis subset analysis demonstrates the chemosensitivity of pediatric LPHL. Patients who had a complete response to chemotherapy had an excellent EFS and OS without the addition of radiotherapy.
