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

purposeAdult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia PATIENTS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of our patients with ATL who were diagnosed between 2005 and 2017. Medical records were reviewed for clinicopathologic data and treatment outcomes. The final analysis included acute and lymphomatous subtypes only. For the univariable analysis, outcomes were calculated by using a log-rank test, and survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.

resultsWe identified 63 patients with acute (55%) and lymphomatous (45%) subtypes, 95% of whom had Ann Arbor stage III to IV disease. The median age was 54 years, and the study population was predominantly female (65%). Most patients (82%) received first-line etoposide, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (EPOCH) or cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy (10%) with an overall response rate of 46%. The median overall survival was 5.5 months, and the median progression-free survival was 4 months. Incidence of atypical immunophenotype (32%) was higher than previously reported in the Japanese literature and was associated with worse survival (

conclusionWe describe here the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment outcomes of our Caribbean patients with aggressive ATL, which is largely chemotherapy resistant, and the challenges of treating a population with unmet medical needs.
