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

Objective: Clinical and pathological differential diagnosis of small B-cell lymphomas (SBCLs) is still controversial and may be difficult due to their overlapping morphology, phenotype, and differentiation to plasma cells. We aimed to examine the expression of the immune receptor translocation-associated protein 1 (IRTA1), myeloid cell nuclear differentiation antigen (MNDA), lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF1), and stathmin 1 (STMN1) markers in SBCL cases involving different sites that may have plasma cell differentiation. Materials and Methods: We studied 154 tissue samples with lymphoma involvement from 116 patients and evaluated the staining distribution of the markers. Expressions were evaluated in 21 chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), 7 follicular lymphoma (FL), 14 nodal marginal zone lymphoma, 17 extranodal marginal zone lymphoma, 55 splenic marginal zone lymphoma, 22 marginal zone lymphoma-not otherwise specified, and 18 lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia cases by immunohistochemistry. Results: The results confirmed that LEF1 was the most sensitive and specific marker for CLL/SLL and STMN1 was the most sensitive and specific marker for FL (p<0.001). MNDA and IRTA1 were useful markers to distinguish marginal zone lymphomas. Conclusion: Our results suggest that LEF1 for CLL/SLL and STMN1 for FL are reliable markers. LEF1, MNDA, STMN1, and IRTA1 are helpful with other routinely used immunohistochemical markers in a diagnostic algorithm considering their limitations.
