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

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) have an aggressive biological course and poor clinical outcomes. Despite producing somewhat less-than-satisfactory results, the combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) remains the de facto standard in PTCL treatment. Addition of etoposide to CHOP backbone to overcome such unsatisfactory results has yielded contradictory information. We aimed to thoroughly analyze the impact of incorporating etoposide into first-line treatment. Using merged data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service and National Cancer Registry, a total of 1933 patients (median age, 58 years) were evaluated for clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. Thirty-eight percent (n = 748) of the 1933 patients received CHOP or CHOP-like regimen, 35.1% (n = 678) received CHOP-like regimen plus etoposide, 5.9% (n = 113) received other backbone chemotherapy plus etoposide, and 20.3% (394) received other treatments in the first-line setting. When we divided the patients into 3 groups according to regimen (group 1, CHOP or CHOP-like regimen; group 2, CHOP or CHOP-like regimen plus etoposide; group 3, all others), group 1 was associated with longest progression-free survival (PFS;
