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

backgroundTumor mutation burden is an emerging biomarker for immunotherapy. Although several clinical trials for immunotherapy in lymphoma have been carried out, the mutation burden of various lymphomas is not well known yet. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare tumor mutation burden of various non-Hodgkin lymphomas using panel based massively parallel sequencing.

methodsWe conducted 405 gene panel based massively parallel sequencing of 300 non-Hodgkin lymphomas and investigate the number of SNV/Indel in each lymphoma.

resultsThe number of SNV/Indel was higher in mature B-cell lymphoma than in mature T- and NK-cell lymphoma. (P < 0.001) The number of SNV/Indel in primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma and primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system was the highest, which was significantly higher than that in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL NOS).(P = 0.030 and P = 0.008, respectively) The SNV/Indel number in EBV-positive DLBCL NOS was significantly lower than that in DLBCL NOS. (P = 0.048) Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS showed no significant difference in the number of SNV/Indel from extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (P = 0.942) or angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (P = 0.739). The number of SNV/Indel in anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-positive was significantly lower than that in anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-negative (P = 0.049). It was the lowest among all the lymphomas considered.

conclusionVarious lymphomas have different mutation burdens. Thus, tumor mutation burden can be used as a promising biomarker for immunotherapy in lymphomas.
