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

BACKGROUND Patients <60 years old with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving standard RCHOP(E) treatment display high relapse rates. Here, we compared this standard regimen to a high-intensity regimen in terms of recurrence and long-term survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS Newly diagnosed DLBCL patients <60 years old who were treated at the Second Hospital Affiliated with Xi'an Jiaotong University between January 2004 and December 2013 (n=198, 18-60 years) were included in the study. The high-intensity group included 107 patients (54.0%) who received >8 courses of chemotherapy (high-dose CHOP, CHOP-E, EPOCH, MAED, MMED, and HyperCVAD). The control group included 91 patients (46.0%) who received 6-8 courses of CHOP-based treatment. Response rate (RR), survival, relapse, and adverse effects were compared. RESULTS Baseline characteristics of the patients were similar between the 2 groups. Median follow-up was 64.5 months. RR in the high-intensity and control groups was 88.8% and 84.6% (P=0.387), respectively; 5-year overall survival was 66.4% and 36.3% (P<0.001), respectively; 5-year progression-free survival was 56.1% and 28.6% (P<0.001), respectively; 5-year disease-free survival was 54.2% and 24.2% (P<0.001), respectively; and relapse rate during follow-up was 29.5% and 67.5% (P<0.001), respectively. There were no significant differences in adverse effects between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS High-intensity chemotherapy is associated with better prognosis of patients <60 years old with newly diagnosed high-risk DLBCL.
