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 Nasal extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare type of lymphoma with characteristic histological features. Although radiotherapy can achieve a high response rate, long-term efficacy and safety are yet to be established. Methodology Using electronic health records, we identified relevant patients treated at our hospital from August 2005 to August 2015. We enrolled patients with pathologically confirmed ENKTL treated with curative intent radiotherapy. Results We included 13 patients who underwent definitive radiotherapy in the analysis, comprising 11 males and 2 females and a median age of 53 years (range: 28-73). The median follow-up period was 113.4 months. The overall survival at 5 and 10 years was 92.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 57-99 %) and 68.4% (95% CI: 29-89 %), respectively. The most common radiation-related late-term toxicity was sinus disorder (Grade 1-2) in 11 patients (85%). Radiation-related grade 3 to 5 toxicities were not observed. Conclusion The present retrospective study elucidated the long-term safety and effectiveness of curative intent radiotherapy in patients with localized ENKTL.
