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

This study evaluated the significance of serum D-Dimer for predicting survival of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We analyzed the clinical data from 113 patients who were newly diagnosed with DLBCL at Tongji Hospital from January 2012 to January 2016. The results indicated that there were higher levels of D-Dimer in DLBCL patients with the following characteristics: stage III/IV, lymphocyte monocyte ratio (LMR) <2.27, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > upper limit of normal (ULN), albumin (ALB) < 35 g/L, and anemia. After the first chemotherapeutic regimen, D-Dimer was significantly decreased concomitantly with LDH. Cox univariate regression analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) was negatively affected by the following factors: age > 60 years, stage III/W, LDH > ULN, LMR < 2.27, anemia and D-Dimer > 0.92. Multivariate analysis showed that only LDH > ULN (P=0.038) and age > 60 years (P=0.047) were independent adverse prognostic factors. However, it was suggested that D-Dimer could be regarded as a marker of high tumor burden and a potential prognostic screening tool for patients with DLBCL, not otherwise specified (NOS).
