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

backroundMalignant lymphomas represent approximately 5% of all cancers. Imaging procedures play a crucial role concerning initial staging and assessment of the response to treatment.

objectiveThis article gives an overview of the significance of imaging procedures in the treatment of patients with malignant lymphomas at various times during treatment. These include the initial assessment of the extent of the disease and staging during and after treatment under consideration of the current classification systems. MATERIAL AND

methodsA selective literature search was carried out with analysis of dedicated original research articles and reviews as well as a discussion of the clinical guidelines.

resultsComputed tomography (CT) is the basic diagnostic tool in patients with malignant lymphomas. Particularly important is fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) CT, which enables a more accurate stage definition and a better assessment of the response to treatment in FDG-avid lymphoma subtypes. Using the FDG-PET/CT-based Deauville score persisting disease activity can be identified in residual masses and refractory disease can be distinguished from complete metabolic remission. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging can represent a future alternative but is, however, not yet sufficiently standardized and validated.

conclusionThe standardized analysis and reporting of purely morphological and metabolic imaging procedures is the backbone of treatment decisions in patients with malignant lymphomas.
