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 analyzed the clinicopathologic characteristics of 136 intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) among 126 patients. The DLBCL sites were categorized as: duodenum (n = 23), ileocecal region (n = 63), other small intestine (n = 29), rectum (n = 7), and other large intestine (n = 14). Patients with DLBCLs of the ileocecal region or other small intestine frequently underwent surgery for ileus or perforations (P < 0.001), were predominantly male (P = 0.042), and had a higher incidence of limited-stage disease (P = 0.001), lower International Prognostic Index (P = 0.015), and lower incidence of lactate dehydrogenase elevation (P = 0.007) than those with DLBCLs of other regions. Half of the intestinal DLBCLs exhibited the germinal center B-cell phenotype. A low-grade B-cell lymphoma background was found in 21% of the cases; the prevalence was significantly lower in the ileocecal region (13%, P = 0.025), suggesting a higher incidence of de novo DLBCLs. Intestinal follicular lymphoma (FL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma backgrounds were observed in 10% and 0% of the cases, respectively. Five percent (5/107) of intestinal DLBCL cases were Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA-1 positive. The clinicopathologic characteristics of the DLBCLs differed by region. Histologic transformation of intestinal FL was observed in around 10% of the intestinal DLBCL cases.
