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

Lymphomas with recurrent chromosomal breakpoints activating multiple oncogenes, including MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 are often referred to as "Dual Hit" or "Double Hit" lymphomas (DHL). In the updated classification for malignant lymphomas by the World Health Organization (WHO), the novel category of "B-cell lymphoma unclassifiable with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt's lymphoma (BL)" was proposed in an attempt to create a (temporary) container for aggressive mature B-cell lymphomas that should not be diagnosed as either BL or DLBCL. DHL make up an important part of this novel WHO category, the other part representing heterogeneous cases of aggressive B-cell lymphoma that have features of BL. DHL are highly aggressive lymphomas with generally poor response to first line and salvage treatment. Limited data is available to guide therapeutic decisions, and despite aggressive measures including high dose (HD) chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT), outcome is unsatisfyingly poor. Herein, we report a case of a patient with DHL and review the relevant literature.
