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 majority of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSLs) are diffuse large B cell lymphoma, characterized by poor prognosis. In the present study, the expression of cluster of differentiation (CD)10, B cell lymphoma (BCL)-6, multiple myeloma-1 (MUM-1), BCL-2, CD138 and Ki-67 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in 89 Chinese PCNSL cases, and the potential prognostic significance was evaluated. CD10, BCL-6, MUM-1, BCL-2 and CD138 were positive in 16.9 (15/89), 51.7 (46/89), 92.1 (82/89), 73.3 (63/86) and 0% (0/65) of all cases, respectively. According to the Hans algorithm, 71 patients (79.8%) were classified into the non-germinal center B cell-like (non-GCB) group, indicating a post-germinal center origin of PCNSL. The median follow-up time of 73 patients was 13 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 10.93-15.08]. The median overall survival (OS) time was 45.3 months (95% CI, 25.01-65.59) and the median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 30.0 months (95% CI, 13.43-46.57). Age (>60 years) was associated with a shorter OS time (P=0.009). Ki-67 (cutoff point 90%) was associated with shorter OS (P=0.037) and shorter PFS (P=0.039) times. No other immunohistochemical markers were associated with prognosis. On multivariate analysis, age (>60 years) was associated with shorter OS time (P=0.038), but immunophenotype and expression status of Ki-67, CD10, BCL-6 and BCL-2 did not predict prognosis. In conclusion, high Ki-67 expression may predict poor prognosis in PCNSL. The present study was limited by its sample size and short follow-up time. This requires more evidence to further clinical study.
