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

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), ALK negative (ALK-) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder of mature T lymphocytes characterised by hallmark cells, CD30 positivity and lacking ALK protein expression. ALCL, ALK- has to be differentiated from peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. ALK- anaplastic large cell leukaemia should be considered in a patient with a history of ALCL, ALK- presenting with new leukaemia. We report a rare presentation of relapsed ALCL, ALK- with leukaemia after autologous stem cell transplantation in a 57-year-old male. Leukaemia, either as primary presentation or secondary transformation confers worse prognosis in ALCL, ALK- with very few cases reported so far. Emergency resuscitation with leukapheresis and treatment of tumour lysis syndrome along with supportive care should be followed by combination chemotherapy. Brentuximab vedotin and stem cell transplantation are the backbone of treatment for relapsed/refractory disease.
