Evaluation of significance of lymphocyte subpopulations and non-specific serologic markers in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients.
Trial report in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The use of rituximab brought attention to the hosts' immune system and to the microenvironment in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases. Our aim was to identify prognostic factors that can be measured easily to indicate the current state of the patient's immune status and possible reaction against malignant cells. In the retrospective analysis (2000-2008), 66 patients diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were enrolled (40 women, 26 men; mean age: 51 years). White blood cells, lymphocytes, CD3 +; CD4 +; CD8 + T-cells, immunoglobulin types A; G; M, anti-cardiolipin antibody isotypes A; G; M; and levels of beta-2-microglobulin were measured before the initiation of the first cycle of chemotherapy, during and after 4-weeks treatment. As for CD 3+ T-lymphocytes, the absolute CD 3+ T -lymphocyte numbers were higher before (0.78 × 10(9)/L) versus during (0.27 × 10(9)/L) treatment, and increased percentages were detected in pre- (66.57 %) and post-treatment (75.32 %). Absolute numbers of CD 8+ T-lymphocyte levels showed reduction before (0.26 × 10(9)/L) versus during (0.10 × 10(9)/L) therapy, but were elevated after (0.28 × 10(9)/L) treatment, while increased percentage before (21.99 %) versus after (29.85 %), and during (24.56 %) versus after (29.85 %) therapy were seen. Average white blood cell numbers were increased before (9.71 × 10(9)/L) versus during (12.07 × 10(9)/L) treatment, while decreased numbers could be observed, after (5.47 × 10(9)/L) treatment. IgA levels were decreased before (2.51 g/L) versus after (1.63 g/L) therapy. IgG levels were higher before (12.25 g/L) vs. after (8.64 g/L) treatment. IgM levels were decreased before (1.76 g/L) and after (0.83 g/L) as well as before (1.76 g/L) versus during (0.73 g/L) treatment. Anti-cardiolipin antibody type A level were decreased before (2.76 U/ml) versus after (2.49 U/ml) treatment. Decreased level of beta-2-microglobulin could be observed before (2.91 mg/L) versus post (2.28 mg/L) chemotherapy. Findings may provide better insight into the effects of immuno-chemotherapy on the hosts' immune system.
