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

backgroundHigh-grade B-cell lymphoma with rearrangements of MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 (BCL2/BCL6), also known as double-hit lymphoma (DHL) and/or triple-hit lymphoma (THL), is a new entity of B-cell lymphoma in the 2017 WHO Classification. We retrospectively investigated D/THL and their clinico-laboratory features among cases of large B-cell lymphoma involving the bone marrow (BM), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and B-cell lymphomas with medium to large lymphoid cells, by additional FISH analysis of BM aspirates.

methodsA total of 111 patients diagnosed with aggressive B-cell lymphomas or B-cell lymphoma involving the BM with medium to large-sized malignant lymphocytes were reviewed from January 2000 to January 2018. Patients with available BM aspirates were evaluated by immunophenotyping by flow cytometry, chromosome, and FISH analysis for MYC and/or BCL2/BCL6 rearrangements.

resultsIn total, 23/111 (20.7%) showed MYC rearrangement, and eight (7.2%) were reclassified as D/THL on BM after FISH analysis for MYC and BCL2/BCL6. The detection of CD5(-)/CD10(+) based on flow cytometry was strongly associated with D/THL. A complex karyotype with aberrations related to regions in MYC and BCL2/BCL6 was significantly associated with D/THL. When the MYC FISH results of 28 BM aspirates and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were compared, 14% were discrepant.

conclusionsImmunophenotypic and cytogenetic characteristics facilitate the diagnosis of D/THL in the cases with BM-involving aggressive B-cell lymphomas.
