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

Mediastinal gray zone lymphoma (MGZL) is a provisional entity with intermediate features between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Outcomes for patients with MGZL are reportedly poorer than those for patients with cHL or primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. Additionally, no standard management guidelines for patients with MGZL are available, primarily due to its recent identification, rarity, and challenges in diagnosis. Although recent several studies have suggested dose-adjusted EPOCH-R (etoposide, doxorubicin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, prednisolone, and rituximab) may improve outcomes in patients with MGZL, numerous patients still suffer from relapsed/refractory MGZL, and the optimal management for such patients remains uncertain. Here, we report the first case of successful treatment of refractory MGZL by tandem high-dose chemotherapy supported by autologous stem cell transplantations (auto-SCTs) and consolidative radiotherapy (RT). To date, the patient remains in CR 33 months after the completion of RT, with no significant complications. This case suggests that tandem auto-SCTs may be a promising therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory MGZL.
