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

backgroundThe prognosis of patients with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) remains dismal, with their 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates of 32-41% and 18-38%, respectively. Spleen involvement occurs in a proportion of patients with AITL. But still, it is unclear whether spleen involvement impacts the prognosis of AITL patients. In this study, we aim to establish new prognostic indicators for the identification of high-risk patients to draft optimal treatment regimens.

methodsWe collected and counted the clinical data of 54 patients with AITL treated with CHOP-based first-line chemotherapy regimen between 2010 and 2021 at Hubei Cancer Hospital and Hunan Cancer Hospital. In addition, all patients received PET-CT scan prior to receiving treatment. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses to assess the predictive role of tumor characteristics, laboratory, and radiographic data for the prognosis of AITL.

resultsWe observed that PFS and OS are worse in patients with high ECOG scores, spleen involvement, and low serum albumin levels in patients with AITL. In univariate analysis, stage (HR 3.515 [1.142-10.822], p = 0.028) and spleen involvement (HR 8.378 [1.085-64.696, p = 0.042) were correlated with PFS in patients with AITL. Besides, stage (HR 3.439 [1.108-10.674], p = 0.033) and spleen involvement (HR 11.002 [1.420-85.254], p = 0.022) were significantly correlated with OS. Consistently, spleen involvement was correlated with OS (HR 16.571 [1.350-203.446], p = 0.028) and PFS (HR 10.905 [1.037-114.690], p = 0.047) in AITL patients in a multivariate analysis.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that spleen involvement might be used as a prognostic indicator for AITL patients.
