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

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a systemic inflammation disorder secondary to immune dysregulation. Patients may present with fevers, splenomegaly, bone marrow failure and hemophagocytosis, among other clinical and laboratory findings. Lymphoma-associated HLH (LA-HLH) is a puzzling diagnosis given both conditions overlapping presentation. There are currently no established treatment guidelines for LA-HLH. We conducted a retrospective search of the tumor registry and pathology database at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital using Pathology Laboratory Information System (LIS) and natural language search. We identified adult patients with a combined diagnosis of lymphoma and HLH between January 2008 and July 2018. Data from nine LA-HLH patients were identified and reviewed. The median age was 53 years (range 19 - 73), with 78% of cases of Hispanic origin. Lymphoma subtypes consisted of six T-cell/NK-cell neoplasms: two peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), not otherwise specified (NOS); two Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)+ extranodal NK-/T-cell lymphomas; one EBV+, CD8
