A Study of the Newer Prognostic Markers in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphomas.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
introductionDiffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL) encompass a pathogenetically heterogeneous group of aggressive tumours that are rapidly fatal if untreated. Gene expression profiling studies have identified distinct molecular subtypes of DLBCL, one with an expression profile similar to normal germinal centre B cells (GCB subtype) and a second mimicking activated peripheral blood B cells (ABC subtype) having different prognostic significance allowing risk stratification of lymphoma patients and development of specific therapeutic strategies.
methodsTwenty cases of DLBCL were included in the study and categorized into germinal centre and non germinal centre subtypes using the following antibody panel. CD10, Bcl-6, MUM1 and CD138. The germinal centre and non germinal centre subtypes were defined as under Germinal centre (DLBCL) CD10 + and/or Bcl-6 +, MUM1 -, CD138 - and Non germinal centre (DLBCL) CD10, Bcl-6 ±, MUM1 ±, CD138 ±.
resultIn our study of twenty cases thirteen were germinal centre DLBCL while seven of the twenty cases were non germinal centre type of DLBCL. 75% of the nodal cases and 62.5% of extra nodal cases were germinal centre B cell type. Overall survival in the GCB and non GCB groups was 91% and 14% respectively and the difference was highly significant statistically.
conclusionThis study validates the existence of prognostic subgroups of DLBCL in the Indian population.
