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

As part of an effort to develop a more effective and safe treatment for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), we conducted a phase II study of the oxaliplatin, etoposide, and ifosfamide (IFETOx) regimen. Patients with relapsed or refractory NHL and a performance status of 0-2 were eligible. The IFETOx consisted of etoposide at 100 mg/m(2) on days 1-3, oxaliplatin at 130 mg/m(2) on day 2, and ifosfamide 5,000 mg/m(2) on day 2, every 21 days. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR) for IFETOx regimen. A total of 23 eligible patients were enrolled. The median age was 58 years (range 19-76 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 15:8. The disease status was as follows: 15 patients had relapsed and 8 patients were refractory to treatment. The ORR for IFETOx chemotherapy was 65.2 %. In the 15 patients who responded to the protocol treatment, five underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The 2-year probability of progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 51.4 and 56.1 %, respectively. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in 73.9 % of the patients. No significant renal impairment was observed. In conclusion, IFETOx chemotherapy shows a tolerable toxicity profile and efficacy as a salvage treatment regimen for relapsed or refractory NHL.
