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

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS) is associated with increased risk of lymphoproliferative malignancy, and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) is the most frequent type. To evaluate CD4+ T lymphocytes distributions in patients with (PSS) and the association of CD4+ T lymphocytopenia with the development of (B-NHL), this study included 8 (PSS) patients associated with B-NHL (group I), 50 (pSS) patients without B-NHL (group II), and 30 healthy volunteers who served as controls. The frequency of circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes distributions and CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio was assessed using flow cytometry coulter EPICS-XL and compared between patients groups and controls. There was statistically significant CD4+ T lymphocytopenia in (PSS) patients with B-NHL than those without lymphoma and controls (P = 0.001). Moreover, a significant low CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio 0.8 in group I than group II and controls (P = 0.001) was found. Significant positive correlations of CD4+ T lymphocytopenia with other risk factors (parotid swelling, vasculitis, rheumatoid factors, low complement, cryoglobulinemia) were detected. CD4+ T lymphocytopenia is associated with B-NHL developed in patients with PSS and can be considered as an important predictor of lymphoma.
