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

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been identified as an unfavorable prognostic factor in most solid tumors. However, HIF-1α was suggested to predict improved survival in Western patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) under rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) treatment. We studied HIF-1α protein expression by immunohistochemical staining of 155 paraffin-embedded specimens from Chinese patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP or CHOP. Results were correlated with patient outcome. HIF-1α expression had no impact on survival for the patients treated with CHOP. In the R-CHOP-treated group, however, HIF-1α expression was significantly correlated with superior OS and EFS (P = 0.048 and 0.040, respectively). Moreover, HIF-1α expression maintained independent prognostic value for OS (RR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.19-0.92; P = 0.030) and EFS (RR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.31-0.90; P = 0.020) when it was adjusted by IPI stratification. Therefore, HIF-1α expression benefits from R-CHOP in DLBCL.
