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

The role of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) following high-dose chemotherapy has been validated and accepted as a standard treatment for patients with relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, its clinical efficacy as frontline therapy remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of frontline auto-HSCT for newly diagnosed intermediate/high-risk DLBCL patients. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 223 patients treated with frontline auto-HSCT or chemotherapy alone (year 2008-2014) from four hospitals. The median follow-up time was 29.4 months. Between the two treatment arms among the intermediate/high-risk DLBCL patients, the 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates of patients given frontline auto-HSCT were 87.6% and 81.9%, respectively, and the chemotherapy-alone group showed 3-year OS and PFS rates of 64.9% and 59.59%, respectively. Compared with the chemotherapy-alone group, the frontline auto-HSCT could eliminate the adverse impact of non-germinal center B-cell (GCB) type. In addition, in the frontline auto-HSCT group, patients who achieved complete response (CR) at auto-HSCT had a longer survival time than those who did not achieve CR. Our results suggested that frontline auto-HSCT could improve the prognosis of intermediate/high-risk DLBCL patients.
