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

(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) documented response after salvage chemotherapy has been reported to impact survival in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, especially diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing high dose chemotherapy and autologous SCT (HDC auto-SCT). We reviewed the impact of 19 different prognostic/predictive factors before salvage chemotherapy and post-salvage chemotherapy FDG-PET results in patients with aggressive lymphoma and developed an FDG-PET integrated model for post-HDC auto-SCT outcome. The Fine and Gray method for competing risk analysis and a regression model was used to assess the risk associated with different factors on outcome. Fifty-five patients had FDG-PET after salvage chemotherapy; male 65%, female 45%, relapsed 55%, refractory 45%, DLBCL 82%, T cell lymphoma 18%, median age at auto-SCT 40 years, median follow-up 42.4 months. Multivariate analysis identified only positive FDG-PET (P=0.04) and mediastinal involvement (P=0.05) with higher hazard rate of disease-specific death (model P=0.008) but only positive FDG-PET (P=0.01) for disease-specific events (persistent, progressive or relapsed disease). Cumulative incidence of disease-specific death for patients with 0, 1 and 2 risk factors was 5, 30 and 62%, respectively (P=0.01). Our model is significant and showed an increasing risk of failure with mediastinal involvement and post-salvage positive FDG-PET.
