Initial cancer treatment and survival in children, adolescents, and young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma: A population-based study.
Article in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundHodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a treatable tumor affecting children, adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 15-39 years old). Population-based studies report worse survival for non-White children and AYAs but have limited data on individual therapeutic exposures. This study examined overall and HL-specific survival in a population-based cohort of patients while adjusting for sociodemographic factors and treatment.
methodsData for 4807 patients younger than 40 years with HL (2007-2017) were obtained from the California Cancer Registry. Individual treatment information was extracted from text fields; chemotherapy regimens were defined by standard approaches for pediatric and adult HL. Multivariable Cox models examined the influence of patient and treatment factors on survival.
resultsAt a median follow-up of 4.4 years, 95% of the patients were alive. Chemotherapy differed by age, with 70% of 22- to 39-year-olds and 41% of <22-year-olds receiving doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (P < .001). In multivariable models, older patients (22-39 vs < 21 y; hazard ratio [HR], 1.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-2.10), Black (vs White patients); HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.25-2.88), and Hispanic patients (HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.06-1.99) experienced worse survival; among those < 21 y, Black race was associated with a 3.3-fold increased risk of death (HR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.43-7.42).
conclusionsIn children and AYAs with HL, older age and non-White race/ethnicity predicted worse survival after adjustments for treatment data. Further work is needed to identify the biological and nonbiological factors driving disparities in these at-risk populations.
