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

Background: Previous studies evaluating the influence of statins on the survival of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) showed inconsistent results. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether statin use is correlated with the survival of DLBCL patients. Methods: Related cohort studies were obtained by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane's Library, and Web of Science databases. Study characteristics and outcome data were extracted independently by two authors. The random-effect model was used for meta-analysis, considering the possible influence of between-study heterogeneity. Results: Eight studies involving 9927 patients with DLBCL were included. Results did not show significant associations of statins with overall survival (OS, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69∼1.11, Conclusions: Overall, statins did not affect the survival of patients with DLBCL. However, statin use may be associated with an improved survival rate of DLBCL patients from Western countries.
