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

Outcomes of patients with histologic transformation (HT) of follicular lymphoma (FL) have been believed to be poor. The most common histologic subtype of transformation from FL is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which accounts for 90% of the cases, and the remaining 10% of the cases include classic Hodgkin lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma, B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, histiocytic/dendritic cell sarcoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma-like lymphoma. Because the histologic criteria for the diagnosis of DLBCL transformed from FL are unclear, convenient histopathological criteria for HT are required. One of the proposed criteria of HT from our institute is the presence of diffuse architecture with a proportion of large lymphoma cells of ≥20%, and for challenging cases, Ki-67 index ≥50% is used as a reference. Patients with HT to non-DLBCL have poorer outcomes than those with HT to DLBCL; thus, rapid and accurate histologic diagnosis is desired. In this review, we discussed the recent literatures describing the histopathologic variety and proposal of definition of HT.
