Hitting a Moving Target: Successful Management of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Involving the Mesentery With Volumetric Image-guided Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy.
Article in Clinical lymphoma, myeloma & leukemia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionWe report successful treatment of mesenteric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) using localized involved site radiation therapy (ISRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), and daily computed tomography (CT)-image guidance. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with mesenteric DLBCL treated with RT between 2011 and 2017 were reviewed. Clinical and treatment characteristics were analyzed for an association with local control, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival.
resultsTwenty-three patients were eligible. At diagnosis, the median age was 52 years (range, 38-76 years), and 57% (n = 13) had stage I/II DLBCL. All patients received frontline chemotherapy (ChT) (R-CHOP [rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone], n = 19; dose-adjusted R-EPOCH [rituximab, etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin], n = 4) with median 6 cycles. Prior to RT, salvage ChT for refractory DLBCL was given to 43% (n = 10) and autologous stem cell transplantation was administered in 13% (n = 3). At the time of RT, positron emission tomography-CT revealed 5-point scale of 1 to 3 (48%; n = 11), 4 (9%; n = 2), and 5 (44%; n = 10). All patients received IMRT, daily CT imaging, and ISRT. The median RT dose was 40 Gy (range, 16.2-49.4 Gy). Relapse or progression occurred in 22% (n = 5). At a median follow-up of 37 months, the 3-year local control, PFS, and overall survival rates were 80%, 75%, and 96%, respectively. Among patients treated with RT after complete metabolic response to frontline ChT (n = 8), the 3-year PFS was 100%, compared with 61% for patients with a history of chemorefractory DLBCL (n = 15; P = .055). Four of the 5 relapses occurred in patients with 5-point scale of 5 prior to RT (P = .127).
conclusionMesenteric involvement of DLBCL can be successfully targeted with localized ISRT fields using IMRT and daily CT-image guidance.
