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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) complicated with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is extremely rare and typically shows an aggressive clinical course and unsatisfactory prognosis. Here, we describe the case of a 77-year-old man who was referred to the hospital because of repeated fever, night sweats, and weight loss. He was finally diagnosed with a discordant lymphoma consisting of AITL and DLBCL, with significantly different maximum standardized uptake values on positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Based on his complex illness and poor performance status, the patient received six cycles of lenalidomide combined with R-miniCHOP regimen and achieved complete remission with tolerable and controlled toxicity. He subsequently received lenalidomide maintenance therapy and achieved sustained remission. We consider the possible causes of this discordance involved AITL and EBV-positive DLBCL, and the possible mechanism of lenalidomide action in both T-cell and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Lenalidomide-combination therapy may be a preferable choice in patients with an EBV-associated discordant lymphoma.
