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

Introduction: Little is known about the first line induction chemotherapy cycles for HIV-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as these are less common than HIV-negative lymphoma. Currently, the optimal treatment cycles option remains undefined. Therefore, we performed a multi-center study to analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of HIV-associated DLBCL patients in different treatment modes in China. Methods: Totally 273 newly diagnosed HIV-associated DLBCL patients at eleven large academic centers from October 2008 to October 2021, were analyzed. Results: In the entire cohort, the median age was 47 years (range, 21-90) at lymphoma diagnosis, and 223 patients were male (81.7%). One hundred and ninety-four (71.1%) patients were germinal center B-cell-like lymphoma (GCB) subtype. Most patients (65.2%, 178/273) had elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and advanced Ann Arbor stage (78.9% 213/273) at diagnosis. High international prognostic index (IPI) score (3-5) at diagnosis was found in 65.2% (178/273) of patients. One hundred and fifty-five patients (56.8%) had extranodal involvement. The median CD4 cell count was 168/μl (range, 2-1067), of whom 174 (63.7%) had a CD4 cell count below 200/μl. The median follow-up of our cohort was 10.1 (0.1-160) months. The overall 2-year OS rates 58.0%. Median OS times in the 0, 1-3, 4-6, and >6 cycles chemotherapy cohort were 7.1 months, 20.0 months, not reached, and not reached, respectively (Hazard Ratio (HR)=0.549, 95% Confidence interval (CI) 0.451-0.667; Discussion: These results demonstrated that 4-6 cycles chemotherapy were significantly associated with improved outcomes in HIV-associated DLBCL patients. However, >6 cycles chemotherapy did not further improve the survival of patients.
