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 followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been applied to patients with diffuse large Bcell lymphoma (DLBCL); it is well established that ASCT shows significant survival benefits for chemosensitive relapse. However, half of relapsed patients are resistant to salvage chemotherapy, indicating that they are not suitable for ASCT. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 47 patients with DLBCL classified as high or high-intermediate (higher) risk, according to the International Prognostic Index, who underwent upfront ASCT in first complete remission (CR1). Compared with 10 patients with similar characteristics who did not receive ASCT, event free survival at 5-year was significantly superior in ASCT group. Toxicity of ASCT was acceptable and therapy-related death was not observed. We therefore propose that upfront ASCT for higher risk DLBCL in CR1 might provide survival benefit, probably because the high-dose therapy removes minimally resided tumor.
