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 classification of mature NK-/T-cell lymphoma mainly originating from the T-cell lineage with predominantly nodal involvement and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positivity in a majority of tumor cells is unresolved. We analyzed the clinical features and treatment outcomes of such patients. Five patients with EBV-positive nodal T-cell lymphoma were surveyed during follow-up period. The median age was 53 years (range 33-88 years), and all patients showed nodal involvement. The patients mostly presented advanced clinical features, such as stage III or IV disease, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and hemophagocytosis. Four patients received cyclophosphamide-containing chemotherapy at the time of diagnosis. However, three patients (75 %) showed disease progression during the early cycles of initial treatment. The median overall survival was 1.5 months (95 % CI 0.0-3.4 months). Patients with EBV-positive nodal T-cell lymphoma mainly show lymph node involvement, but also show aggressive clinical features and poor treatment outcomes, such as aggressive NK-cell leukemia. Therefore, we should consider EBV-positive nodal T-cell lymphoma to be a unique disease entity distinct from peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified.
