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

High-dose chemotherapy (HDT) plus autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard of care for chemosensitive relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (rel/ref DLBCL). Interim restaging with functional imaging by positron emission tomography using (18)F-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET) has not been established after salvage chemotherapy (ST) and before HDT-ASCT by modern criteria. Herein, we evaluated 129 patients with rel/ref DLBCL proceeding to HDT-ASCT, with ST response assessment by FDG-PET according to the contemporary Deauville 5-point scale. At 3 years, patients achieving a Deauville response of 1 to 3 to ST experienced superior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of 77% and 86%, respectively, compared with patients achieving Deauville 4 (49% and 54%, respectively) (P < .001). No other pre-HDT-ASCT risk factors significantly impacted PFS or OS. Despite achieving remission to ST, patients with Deauville 4 should be the focus of risk-adapted investigational therapies.
