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

The role of the microenvironment in high-grade lymphoma is not well defined. In this report, we employ immunohistochemistry to characterise programmed death-1 (PD-1/CD279) and FoxP3 expression in 70 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). PD-1 is a surface marker characteristic of follicular helper T-cells whilst FoxP3 is characteristic of Tregs. We demonstrate variable infiltration with CD4(+) T-cells (<10 to >50 % of all lymph node cells) and PD-1(hi) cells (0.1 to 1.5 % of all cells). CD4(+) T-cells can be distributed in clusters or more diffusely and PD-1(hi) cells, but not FoxP3(+) cells, are found in rosettes around lymphoma cells. Cases with high CD4(+) T-cell numbers tended to have higher numbers of both PD-1(hi) and FoxP3(+) cells. Cases with total CD4(+) T-cell, PD-1(hi) and FoxP3(+) numbers above the median associate with better clinical outcome. Overall, we demonstrate that infiltration by CD4(+) T-cells, including both FoxP3(+) and PD-1(hi) subsets, correlates with prognosis in DLBCL. In distinction to previous reported series, patients (91 %) were treated with rituximab-containing regimens, suggesting that the effects of CD4+ T-cell infiltration are maintained in the rituximab era. This work suggests that determinants of total CD4(+) T-cell infiltration, either molecular characteristics of the lymphoma or the patients' immune system, and not individual T-cell subsets, correlate with clinical outcome.
