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

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) induces an immunosuppressive microenvironment including M2 macrophages, inhibiting anti-tumor immunity. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether serum IL-10 level at diagnosis and tissue infiltration of M2 macrophages could predict survival outcome of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). We measured serum levels of IL-5, IL-10, IL-12, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) at diagnosis in AITL and other common subtypes of nodal T-cell lymphoma including peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) or ALK-positive ALCL between September 2008 and December 2014. We also analyzed the infiltration of CD68- and CD163-positive macrophages in tumor tissue of AITL. In total, 97 patients with AITL (n=37), PTCL-NOS (n=40), ALK-negative ALCL (n=11), or ALK-positive ALCL (n=9) were treated with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Among cytokines, only the serum level of IL-10 was significantly higher in AITL patients than in other subtypes (P < 0.05). Compared to other subtypes, the association of serum IL-10 with overall survival (OS) was only significant in AITL. Accordingly, the response to CHOP chemotherapy was significantly worse in the high IL-10 group, and infiltration of CD163-positive M2 macrophages was significantly associated with OS in AITL. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the prognostic relevance of serum IL-10 and tissue infiltration of M2 macrophages in AITL patients. Our results suggest the possible use of these variables as potential therapeutic targets and novel prognostic indicators in patients with AITL.
