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

Outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), either concurrent with or transformed from indolent lymphoma, treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone are described in retrospective studies. The efficacy of other regimens in transformed or concurrent DLBCL is largely unknown. In this single-center retrospective study, we present characteristics of concurrent and transformed DLBCL and outcomes after dose-adjusted etoposide, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, prednisone, and doxorubicin with rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) comparative with de novo DLBCL. Of 170 patients with DLBCL, 136 were de novo, 17 were concurrent, and 17 were transformed. Transformed DLBCL had significantly lower complete response rates and progression-free survival (PFS) but similar overall survival (OS) compared with de novo counterpart. There was no significant difference between de novo and concurrent DLBCL regarding response rates, PFS, and OS. DA-EPOCH-R was associated with inferior OS. Thus, intensified treatment with DA-EPOCH-R might not improve outcomes of transformed DLBCL.
