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

We examined 83,108 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 43,393 patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) to investigate disparities related to geographic population density, stratified as rural, urban, or metropolitan. We found that urban and rural patients less commonly had private insurance and high socioeconomic status. Urban and rural DLBCL patients were more likely to receive treatment within 14 days of diagnosis (OR 0.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89-0.98; and OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.72-0.91) while urban FL patients were more likely to have treatment >14 days after diagnosis (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01-1.16). Multivariable analyses demonstrated that rural and urban patients had worse overall survival with DLBCL (hazard ratio [HR] 1.09; 95% CI 1-1.19 and HR 1.08; 95% CI 1.04-1.11) and FL (HR 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.18 and HR 1.2; 95% CI 1.02-1.41), respectively, suggesting needs for focused study and interventions for these populations.
