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

backgroundThe role of flow cytometry in diagnosis and management of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) remains limited. As knowledge emerges of the tumor microenvironment in this disease, various methods are being evaluated in its study. This study examines the microenvironment using flow cytometry to assess differences between subtypes and clinicopathologic correlates. PROCEDURE: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed analyzing the tumor immunophenotype, by flow cytometry, for 31 children with classical HL. Correlation was made with patient information, including outcome.

resultsThe makeup of the tumor microenvironment varies across subtype of HL, with T cells predominating in nodular sclerosis (NS), and similar proportions of B and T cells in mixed cellularity (MC). CD4 cells predominate in NS, whereas CD8 more so in MC subtype. The rate of continuous complete remission is significantly higher in the MC subgroup. Last, the proportion of HLA-DR/CD38 copositive lymphocytes was an independent prognostic factor for relapse/refractoriness.

conclusionsThis study indicates that flow cytometry can be used to examine the tumor microenvironment in HL and that percentage of HLA-DR/CD38 copositive lymphocytes may be a biomarker for relapse and refractoriness in pediatric HL.
