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

Follicular lymphoma (FL) accounts for approximately 35% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and can progress to diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) at a rate of 2% per year. Here, we present a 56-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with grade 3a FL. Further pathological investigation revealed that the lymphoma had transformed into DLBCL following six courses of R-CHOP regimen, and further disease progression was observed after two courses of R2-GemOx. We ultimately failed to collect hematopoietic stem cells after two courses of R2-ICE. CD-22 CAR-T cell therapy salvaged the patient; however, a new soft tissue mass of 4.8 × 4.1 cm rapidly emerged in the patient's right lung. Following the observation of strong tissue staining of PD-L1 (90%), the patient was administered PD-1 inhibitor and 26 Gy of radiotherapy and has maintained progression-free survival at more than 15 months of follow-up. Transformed FL with strong PD-L1 expression showed a poor response to standard immunochemotherapy. Our findings support the potential benefit of PD-1 inhibitor and combination therapies in this type of transformed FL.
