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

objectivePrimary gastrointestinal non-hodgkin lymphomas (PGI-NHL) are uncommon diseases with treatment modalities including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. Our aim is to analyze the demographic and clinical features and treatment results of PGI-NHL. MATERIALS AND

methods286 patients diagnosed with lymphoma who referred to Ataturk University Medical Faculty Hospital between July 2001 and April 2014 were surveyed retrospectively and 22 (7.6%) PGI-NHL cases whose primary lesions were in gastrointestinal system were included.

resultsMean age was 47 (min.25-max.77) and 14 (63.6%) of them were men. The origin was determined as small intestines (50%), stomach (31.8%) and colon (18.2%), respectively. The most common complaint and pathologic subtype were abdominal pain (68.2%) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (86.4%), respectively. The Lugano Classification was as follows: stage 1 (18.2%), stage 2 (59.1%), and stage 4 (22.7%). Surgery and chemotherapy were administered to 40.9% of patients. Complete and partial response and disease progression were established in 72.1%, 4.5% and 13.6% of the patients, respectively. Mean survival time was 99.6±16 months. Mean overall survival time was determined significantly longer in small bowel group than gastric group (119±15 vs. 50±24 months) (p=0.039). Age, gender, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, International Prognostic Index, stage, histological type, tumor size, LDH level, albumin level, Hemoglobin level and treatment options were not associated with survival.

conclusionDemographic and clinical characteristics of our series were similar with Middle Eastern and African countries. Optimal treatment options or prognostic factors for PGI-NHL are not clear. There is a need for randomized prospective studies including large number of patients and long follow-up period.
