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 prognostic significance of Bcl-2, Bcl-6, p53, topoisomerase II, and β-tubulin expression was evaluated in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone, and rituximab. Eight-year progression-free survival (PFS, P = 0.006) and overall survival (OS, P = 0.001) of patients with high Bcl-2 expression were significantly inferior to those of patients with low expression without prognostic significance of Bcl-6, p53, topoisomerase II, and β-tubulin expression. High expression of Bcl-2 was associated with poor PFS (P = 0.045) and OS (P = 0.004) only in patients with low international prognostic index (IPI). In multivariate analysis, high expression of Bcl-2 was a significant independent prognostic factor of poor PFS (P = 0.026) and OS (P = 0.007) along with high IPI. In conclusion, the expression of Bcl-2 may be a useful prognostic factor, especially in DLBCL patients with low IPI.
