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

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells can be sub-classified into germinal center B cells (GCB) and non-GCB immunophenotypes. In the present study, we treated 161 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CEOP) regimen with or without rituximab, and retrospectively investigated DLBCL sub-classifications combined with assessment of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression level for their utility in the prediction of clinical efficacy. Survival analyses showed that non-GCB patients treated with R-CEOP regimen had significantly higher 5-year OS rates than the CEOP group (P = 0.033), while no statistically significant difference was observed between R-CEOP and CEOP treatments in GCB patients (P = 0.317). Prognosis was poorest for high Bcl-2 expressing non-GCB subgroup patients treated with CEOP, compared with Bcl-2 negative non-GCB CEOP patients (P = 0.044). In the R-CEOP group, Bcl-2 expression had no significant effect on prognosis for both GCB and non-GCB patients. The addition of rituximab to CEOP chemotherapy negates the adverse prognostic influence of Bcl-2 protein expression on overall survival in non-GCB DLBCL.
