Whole-slide image analysis identifies a high content of Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells and a low content of T lymphocytes in tumor microenvironment as predictors of adverse outcome in patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma treated with ABVD.

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.
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
Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) constitutes the most frequent lymphoma in young adults. Its histopathology is unique as a scattered tumor population, termed Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells is diluted in a prominent tumor microenvironment (TME) composed of T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils and histiocytes. Traditionally, the identification of prognostic biomarkers in the cHL TME has required visual inspection and manual counting by pathologists. The advent of whole-slide imaging (WSI) and digital image analysis methods could significantly contribute to improve this essential objective in cHL research, as a 10-20% of patients are still refractory or relapsed after conventional chemotherapy. In this work, we have digitized a total of 255 diagnostic cHL slides and quantified the proportion of HRS cells (CD30), B cells (CD20) and T cells (CD3) by digital image analysis. Data obtained where then correlated with the overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of cHL patients. Quantification of HRS cells, B cells and T cells reflects the biological heterogeneity of the different cHL histological subtypes analyzed. A percentage of 2.00% of HRS cells statistically significantly discriminated between patients achieving a complete metabolic response (CMR) and refractory or relapsed (R/R) patients both for the OS (
