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

Nasal type, extranodal nature killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (NK/T-LAHS) is a rare and fatal disorder with extremely poor prognosis. To investigate its clinical characteristics and risk factors, we retrospectively analyzed 295 patients with nasal type, extranodal nature killer/T cell lymphoma, of which 21 were diagnosed with hemophagocytic syndrome, with a cumulative incidence of 7.1%. The most frequently clinical characteristics were fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, hyperferritinemia, liver dysfunction, hypertriglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia and evaluated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level. After a median follow-up of 27 months, the 2-year survival for the 295 patients was 74.6%. Significant difference for 2-year survival was found between patients with and without hemophagocytic syndrome (4.8% vs. 80.0%, P<0.001). After developing hemophagocytic syndrome, all patients survived no more than 3 months, with a median survival of 35 days. Risk factors for NK/T-LAHS were bone marrow (BM) involvement (P = 0.019; relative risk, 13.649; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.538-121.103), hepatosplenomegaly (P = 0.003; relative risk, 9.616; 95%CI: 2.154-42.918), and elevated LDH level (>314U/L) (P = 0.038; relative risk, 6.293; 95%CI: 1.108-35.735). We conducted a risk model for all 295 patients based on the 3 adverse factors as follows: low risk (233 cases, 79.0%), no factor; intermediate risk (43 cases, 14.6%), one factor; high risk (19 cases, 6.4%), 2 or 3 factors. The probabilities for developing LAHS were 0.9% for low-, 14.0% for intermediate-, and 68.4% for high-risk group. Significant differences in the 3 risk groups were observed (P<0.001).
