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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in adults, and approximately 50% of cases of DLBCL occur in patients above the age of 60. Although RCHOP regimen was established as the standard therapy for DLBCL patients, there are still a large number of DLBCL patients who can't bear the toxicity of doxorubicin, especially in elderly patients. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) offers a new strategy for elderly DLBCL patients. In our study, we reviewed 103 newly diagnosed patients with DLBCL aged between 60 years to 75 years old who were treated with RCHOP (62 cases) or DRCOP (41 cases) regimen. All the patients completed a mean follow-up period of 28 months (range, 2 to 48 months). There was no statistical difference of OS between the DRCOP (78.0%) and RCHOP (72.6%) groups (P = 0.787). And there were less grade 3-4 cardiotoxicity in patients treated with DRCOP (9.8%) than RCHOP regimen (27.4%, P = 0.029). Our findings in this study indicate that the DRCOP regimen offers similar oncologic efficacy when weighed against the standard RCHOP regimen in elderly DLBCL patients, and it might be a more secure treatment for elderly DLBCL patients who have additional risk factors for cardiac diseases.
