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
backgroundNasal-type extranodal natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive type of lymphoma. The optimal chemotherapy regimen for ENKTL has not yet been established. In this study, we compared the LVDP (L-asparaginase, etoposide, dexamethasone, and cisplatin) and GLIDE (gemcitabine, L-asparaginase, ifosfamide, dexamethasone, and etoposide) chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of ENKTL.
methodsA total of 267 patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL were included in this retrospective study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust for confounders between the LVDP and GLIDE groups. Treatment responses, survival outcomes, and toxicities between the two groups were compared before and after PSM.
resultsAt the end of therapy, the objective response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) were 83.5% and 62.2%, respectively, for all patients. The ORR and CR were 85.5% and 62.2% for the LVDP group compared with 79.3% and 62.2% for the GLIDE group, respectively, and no differences between the two groups were found (ORR, p = 0.212; CR, p = 0.996). With a median 71 months follow-up, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 64.3% and 68.5%, respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS were 65.6% and 70.1% for the LVDP group compared with 61.6% and 64.6% for the GLIDE group, respectively (PFS, p = 0.478; OS, p = 0162). After PSM, no significant differences in short-term efficacy (ORR, p = 0.696; CR, p = 0.264) or long-term efficacy (PFS, p = 0.794; OS, p = 0.867) between the two groups were identified. However, treatment-related toxicities were milder in the LVDP group compared to the GLIDE group, even after adjusting for confounders via PSM.
conclusionIn conclusion, both LVDP and GLIDE regimens are effective for the treatment of ENKTL. However, the LVDP regimen is safer than the GLIDE regimen, with milder treatment-related toxicities. Therefore, the LVDP regimen could be a preferable option for patients with ENKTL.
