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

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is an aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) characterised by the presence of neoplastic lymphoid cells within small- and medium-sized blood vessels. According to the clinical presentation, the current WHO classification distinguishes the 'classic' (formerly 'Western') from a hemophagocytic syndrome-associated (formerly 'Asian') variant. A third 'cutaneous' variant has been proposed, characterised by a good prognosis and unique clinical features. While laboratory findings can hint at diagnosis, symptoms are rather nonspecific, and deep skin biopsy supported by further measures such as bone marrow aspiration and positron emission tomography-computed tomography scanning is needed to make a definite diagnosis. Treatment is comprised of anthracycline-based chemotherapy supplemented with rituximab and central nervous system prophylaxis. While there are various prognostic models for NHL, only one is specific to IVLBCL, which does not sufficiently represent some patient groups, especially regarding the lack of differentiation within the patient collective with skin involvement. This underlines the necessity for the establishment of further prognostic models in particular for IVLBCL patients with cutaneous manifestations.
