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 link between chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and a subset of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL) is strongly supported by epidemiological studies. Evidence demonstrating complete regression of lymphoma after antiviral treatments suggests possible chronic antigenic stimulation for the origin of B-NHL and provides evidence for a virus-mediated lymphomagenesis. B-NHL is a heterogeneous group of lymphomas with varied clinical presentation and may be indolent or aggressive. The optimal management of HCV related B-NHL is not clear. Antiviral treatment may be sufficient for low-grade lymphomas, but chemotherapy is necessary in patients with high grade lymphomas. Interferon (IFN)-based antiviral treatment regimens for HCV infection are limited by poor tolerance and suboptimal antiviral response. Recently approved novel direct acting antiviral (DAA) drugs are highly effective and safe. This has opened a new era for the treatment of HCV related B-NHL alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy. Treatment of HCV associated B-NHL should be performed in an interdisciplinary approach in close consultation with hematologist and hepatologist. In this review, we summarize data regarding clinical features and epidemiology of B-NHL and discuss novel therapeutic approaches, including DAAs, that may prove to be effective in the treatment of HCV associated lymphomas.
