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

Extra-nodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy found in the nasal cavity and adjacent locations in 80% of cases, accounting for approximately 10% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 0.4% of all cancers. Prognosis is typically poor and depends on stage, location, age, and tumor markers for targeted therapy, which is reserved for relapsed/refractory ENKTL. Of those, advanced clinical stage, higher Prognostic Index (PI), nodal involvement, Ki-67 expression, large cells, local tumor invasiveness, and circulating Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA levels are predictive of worse survival. Here, we present a rare case of a patient in remission 30 months after diagnosis of ENKTL following a sustained complete response to pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor.
