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

backgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease and the most common gastrointestinal lymphoma. The prognostic/predictive indicators among patients with gastric and intestinal DLBCL (giDLBCL) are controversial beyond their anatomical sites. We compared giDLBCL cases and investigated the clinical utility of newly emerging indicators with an emphasis on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression.

methodsThis retrospective study included 174 patients with primary gastric (n = 129) or intestinal (n = 45) DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing chemotherapy between 1995 and 2018.

resultsCompared with gastric DLBCL (gDLBCL) cases, patients with intestinal DLBCL (iDLBCL) had a significantly higher rate of advanced Lugano stage (71% vs 37%, P < 0.001), perforation (13% vs. 0.8%, P = 0.001), PD-L1 expression on microenvironment immune cells (miPD-L1, 70% vs 46%, P = 0.008), CD10 positivity (47% vs 28%, P = 0.027), and CD5 positivity (9% vs 1.6%, P = 0.040). The iDLBCL patients showed significantly worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than gDLBCL cases (P = 0.0338 and P = 0.0077, respectively). PD-L1 expression on tumor cells was detected in only 3 (2%) of 174 cases with early relapse and/or an aggressive clinical course; whereas, miPD-L1-positive cases had significantly better OS than the miPD-L1-negative gDLBCL and iDLBCL cases (P = 0.0281 and P = 0.0061, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that miPD-L1 negativity (P = 0.030) was an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS in giDLBCL.

conclusionsThe anatomical site of disease did not influence outcome in giDLBCL cases treated with rituximab-containing chemotherapy; while, miPD-L1 expression had a favorable impact on the outcome.
