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

backgroundLymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is the second most common subtype of pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Modified treatments derived from the LSA2-L2 regimen resulted in encouraging survival, but toxicities and long-term sequelae have been problematic. At present, the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-type protocol has demonstrated efficacy in LBL. We analyzed the outcomes of children and adolescents with LBL treated with various regimens.

methodsFrom 1991‒2018, this study enrolled 63 patients diagnosed with LBL at Asan Medical Center. Medical records were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsAmong 63 patients, most patients (38.1%) presented with stage IV at diagnosis, and two had central nervous system (CNS) involvement. At a median follow-up of 160 months, the 5-year event free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and relapse free survival (RFS) were 68.8%, 79.3%, and 71.3%, respectively. Among 61 patients who received chemotherapy, 27 patients (44.3%) received the NY protocol, and 14 (23.0%) received the ALL-type protocol. There was no significant difference in 5-yr OS (85.2%/78.6%), EFS (73.5%/78.6%), and RFS (73.5%/78.6%) between the NY and ALL protocol groups, regardless of immunophenotype. Thirteen patients (21.3%) received prophylactic cranial radiotherapy with no difference in the incidence of CNS relapse based on irradiation.

conclusionThis study showed no difference in outcome between the NY and ALL-type protocols, regardless of stage or immunophenotype. In addition to improving the effectiveness of treatment, it is necessary to continuously appraise the appropriate chemotherapy regimen, considering toxicities and long-term prognosis, for pediatric LBL.
