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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a group of tumors characterized by substantial heterogeneity in terms of their pathological and biological features, a causal factor of their varied clinical outcome. This variation has persisted despite the implementation of rituximab in treatment regimens over the last 20 years. In this context, prognostic biomarkers are of great importance in order to identify high-risk patients that might benefit from treatment intensification or the introduction of novel therapeutic agents. Herein, we review current knowledge on specific immunohistochemical or genetic biomarkers that might be useful in clinical practice. Gene-expression profiling is a tool of special consideration in this effort, as it has enriched our understanding of DLBCL biology and has allowed for the classification of DLBCL by cell-of-origin as well as by more elaborate molecular signatures based on distinct gene-expression profiles. These subgroups might outperform individual biomarkers in terms of prognostication; however, their use in clinical practice is still limited. Moreover, the underappreciated role of the tumor microenvironment in DLBCL prognosis is discussed in terms of prognostic gene-expression signatures, as well as in terms of individual biomarkers of prognostic significance. Finally, the efficacy of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of DLBCL patients are discussed and an evidence-based therapeutic approach by specific genetic subgroup is suggested.
