A comprehensive retrospective cohort study of the journey of B-cell lymphoma in Taiwan.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Complete disease journey and risk factors for poor outcomes are needed to facilitate effectiveness evaluations of new therapies and clinical decision-making in B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), particularly in Asia where such data are lacking. This retrospective cohort study used electronic medical records from a regional medical centre in southern Taiwan to follow-up 441 patients newly diagnosed with common B-NHL subtypes: Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL), Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), and Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), between 01-Jan-2008 and 31-Dec-2013, until 31-Dec-2017. Treatment pathways were modelled using a Markov approach. Stage III/IV disease at diagnosis was frequent for patients with DLBCL, FL, MCL and WM. Hepatitis B surface antigen/hepatitis C virus seropositivity was 18.6%/12.3%. Clinical responses to 1st-line treatment were observed in 76.0% (DLBCL), 87.3% (FL), 86.0% (MZL), 60.0% (MCL), and 42.9% (WM) of patients. For DLBCL, disease control was achieved by ~ 50% after 1st-line, ~ 24% after 2nd-line, ~ 17% after 3rd-line. Patients with Stage III/IV DLBCL or age > 65 years at diagnosis had lower rates of active treatment, poorer disease control and higher mortality than patients with early stage disease or age ≤ 65 years. Disease flare < 6 months after 1st-line treatment was significantly associated with mortality. Despite good clinical response rates for some sub-types, survival remains poor. New treatments are needed to improve the outcome of B-NHL.
