Clinicopathological analysis and specific discriminating markers of interleukin detection in cerebrospinal fluid with primary central nervous system lymphoma: results from a retrospective study.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is special extranodal malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas. This study analyzed clinical features and prognostic factors of PCNSL and evaluated the difference of interleukin (IL) concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between PCNSL and systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma (sNHL). Patients consecutive newly diagnosed with PCNSL were recruited, the demographic and clinicopathological data were retrospectively analyzed, and the potential prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were identified with survival analysis. 27 patients with PCNSL and 21 patients with sNHL collected CSF IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10 concentrations at diagnosis. The difference in interleukin (IL) concentrations in two diseases was analyzed to evaluate the value of IL concentrations. A total of 64 patients with PCNSL were enrolled, the median age was 54.50 years (range 16-85 years); male: female ratio was 1.91. Headache was the most common complaint symptom involved in 42.19% (27/64) of patients. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounted for 89.06% (57/64) of patients; other uncommon types accounted for 3.13% (2/64). In prognostic analysis, multiple lesions and Ki67 ≥ 75% expression exhibited a worse prognosis(P = 0.041), and patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) treatment presented superior OS (P < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, BCL2 expression was revealed as an unfavorable prognostic marker, and auto-HSCT was revealed as a favorable prognostic marker. CSF IL-10 concentration in patients with PCNSL was significantly higher than sNHL (P = 0.000) and excluded other histopathology of NHL; IL-10 value was still significantly different between DLBCL of PCNSL and sDLBCL (P = 0.003). In ROC curve analysis, the cutoff value of IL-10 was 0.43 pg/mL for the diagnosis value of PCNSL, sensitivity was 96.3%, specificity was 66.67%, and AUC was 0.84 (0.71-0.96). Although IL-6 concentration did not differ in the two groups, IL-10/IL-6 ratio was meaningful, with a cutoff value of 0.21, sensitivity of 81.48%, specificity of 80.95%, and AUC of 0.83 (0.71-0.95). This study highlights the characteristics of patients with PCNSL, potential prognostic makers also have been explained. CSF interleukin (IL) concentrations revealed IL-10 levels, and IL-10/IL-6 ratio may represent a useful biomarker in the differential diagnosis of PCNSL and sNHL.
