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

backgroundThe Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) measures inflammation and proves its prognostic value in patients with extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) which is commonly combined with inflammatory lesion. Given inflammatory chemokines play an important role in tumor progression, we hypothesized that chemokines might influence ENKTL aggressiveness through interaction with their receptors in the tumor tissue.

methodsWe measured the serum levels of C-X-C motif ligand 13 (CXCL13) in 69 patients with ENKTL who received non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy and/or concurrent chemoradiotherapy because CXCL13 is thought to have a pro-tumor effect through interaction with its receptor, the C-X-C chemokine receptor 5 (CXCR5). We analyzed the association of serum CXCL13 with the GPS, and their prognostic relevance. The levels of CXCL13 were measured using a multiplex chemokine assay on archived frozen serum samples.

resultsPatients were categorized into high and low CXCL13 groups if they had CXCL13 levels above or below the median value of 29.1 pg/mL, respectively. The high CXCL13 group and grouping by the GPS showed a significant association with poor progression-free survival. The elevated serum levels of CXCL13 were also significantly associated with a high score of the GPS. High CXCL13 levels and GPS were significantly associated with high tumor burden predicting poor prognosis including stages III/IV, extranasal presentation, bone marrow invasion, and presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in blood. Furthermore, serum CXCL13 and GPS discriminated patients at risk of treatment failure among patients with low tumor burden (stage I/II) and non-detectable EBV DNA.

conclusionsSerum levels of CXCL13 were associated with the prognostic value of GPS. Grouping by the serum CXCL13 might predict survival outcomes in patients with ENKTL, suggesting that it is a potential therapeutic target.
