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

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification as one type of extranodal large B-cell lymphoma and it is characterized by the selective growth of lymphoma cells within blood vessels with minimal extravascular invasion. According to the criteria, however, several reported cases of IVLBCL with significant extravascular invasion cannot be classified as IVLBCL. The purpose of the present study was to assess the clinicopathological significance of the WHO criteria for IVLBCL. We characterized clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features of 11 patients with extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with significant intravascular invasion (DLBCL-IV), and statistically compared their features with those of 11 patients with IVLBCL and 15 patients with extranodal DLBCL with virtually no intravascular invasion (DLBCL-noIV). When compared with the DLBCL-noIV group, the DLBCL-IV group was characterized by significantly higher rates of splenomegaly, hemophagocytosis, advanced stage disease, and CD5 expression; higher average platelet count, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, and serum ferritin level. Progression-free survival was significantly shorter in the DLBCL-IV group than the DLBCL-noIV group. In contrast, there were no significant differences in clinicopathological features between the DLBCL-IV and the IVLBCL groups. Our study suggests that DLBCL-IV should be regarded as IVLBCL-related.
