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

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is amongst the most frequent cancer subtypes in children and in adults. However, there are major differences in the distribution of NHL subtypes between the pediatric and adult patient populations. At least for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) recent data indicate that patient age at diagnosis correlates with molecular features of the lymphoma. Concerning treatment, in common pediatric protocols the same therapy is used for DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia (BL/B-AL). In adult patients, there is an established gold standard treatment for DLBCL, while the optimal treatment of BL/B-AL is under evaluation. Importantly, the correct diagnosis of the NHL subtype plays a crucial role in the treatment decision in adults with aggressive B-cell lymphoma. Adolescent and young adult patients are caught between the two age groups of children on the one hand and adults on the other. Whether the lymphoma biology and subtypes found in this age group resemble rather their pediatric or their adult counterparts is not yet answered. Also, systematic data on the optimal treatment for adolescents with lymphoma are lacking. Therefore, this article reviews current data on patient characteristics, biology, treatment and outcome, mainly in pediatric patients. These data are compared to those published for adult patients with B-cell NHL aiming to look for hints on optimal classification and treatment in adolescents and young adults with B-NHL.
