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

Hodgkin's lymphoma carries an excellent prognosis with modern chemotherapy, but a significant proportion of patients remain refractory to or relapse after first-line treatment. Immunological changes post-treatment, such as chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) or lymphopenia, have shown prognostic significance in multiple tumor types. Our study aims to investigate the prognostic value of immunologic changes in Hodgkin's lymphoma by examining the post-treatment lymphocyte count (pALC), neutrophil count (pANC) and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (pNLR). Patients treated for classical Hodgkin's lymphoma at the National Cancer Centre Singapore using ABVD-based regimens were retrospectively analyzed. An optimal cut-off value for high pANC, low pALC and high pNLR in predicting progression-free survival was determined by receiver operating curve analysis. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox proportional models. Overall OS and PFS were excellent, with a 5-year OS of 99.2% and a 5-year PFS of 88.2%. Poorer PFS was associated with high pANC (HR 2.99,
