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

backgroundMediastinal gray zone lymphoma (MGZL) shares clinical characteristics with primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma (NSHL). However, MGZL is extremely rare, and an appropriate treatment for it has not yet been established.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 8 patients who were treated with systemic chemotherapy for MGZL between 2007 and 2014.

resultsThe patients with MGZL were predominantly young and male (median age 26 years), and 62.5% of patients had bulky disease. The overall response rate (ORR) and complete remission (CR) rate were both 75% (6/8) for all treated patients The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was 40.7 and 3.9 months, respectively. Most responders (4/6, 66.7%) were treated with R-CHOP (rituximab + cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, Oncovin and prednisolone) as the frontline therapy. The CR rate of patients who received R-CHOP and those who did not was 100% (4/4) and 50% (2/4), respectively. Particularly striking was the finding that the median PFS of patients who received R-CHOP frontline chemotherapy was 11.4 months, which was superior to the median PFS of patients who did not receive R-CHOP.

conclusionsOf the 8 patients with MGZL who were treated with systemic chemotherapy, superior treatment responses were observed in patients who received R-CHOP as the frontline therapy.
