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

objectivesThis study aimed to determine the impact of prognostic markers on the outcomes of Hodgkin lymphoma.

methodsIt is a cross-sectional, single-center study. A total of 60 patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma were recruited for the study over five years between 2016 to 2020. The study setting was the National Institute of Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant in Pakistan. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis.

resultsIn the study population, 63.3% of the patients were male (38/60), and 36.7% were female (22/60). Hodgkin lymphoma was divided into four stages: stage I (18.3%), stage II (18.3%), stage III (46.7%), and stage IV (16.7%). Patients in stage III had a higher value of hemoglobin (Hb) than in other stages of the disease. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was high in 56.7% of stage III patients than in patients of the other stages. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were not under the normal range in 51.6% of patients. Only 20% of patients in stage III had LDH values within the normal range, whereas 26.6% did not.

conclusionThere was a significant impact of prognostic factors on the survival of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.
