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

Objective Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) has been regarded as a curable disease when treated appropriately, especially in younger patients, and ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) has been regarded as the standard regimen. However, a relatively poor prognosis has been reported in older patients with CHL, and the efficacy and tolerability of the ABVD regimen has not been fully elucidated. We retrospectively investigated the outcomes in patients with CHL treated with ABVD at our institute. Methods Twenty-five patients were evaluated; 14 were ≤60 years of age, and 11 were >60 years of age (older group). Results The ABVD doses were reduced in all patients in the older group; the median average relative dose intensity was 0.58. In the older group, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and median OS were 100% and not reached, respectively, for patients with early-stage CHL and 66.7% and not reached, respectively, for those with advanced-stage CHL. No patients died of CHL, and only one treatment-related death was observed in the older group. Conclusion ABVD with dose attenuation may represent a feasible and effective strategy for the treatment of older patients with CHL in clinical practice, particularly in those with early-stage disease, although the optimal degree of attenuation remains unclear.
