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

Background: High-grade non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma is an aggressive mature B-cell lymphoma that depicts poor treatment response and worse prognosis. The presence of MYC and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and/or B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) rearrangements qualifies for triple-hit and double-hit lymphomas (THL/DHL), respectively. We attempted to explore the incidence, distribution, and clinical characteristics of the primary high-grade B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (CNS) in our cohort from North India. Methods: All the histologically confirmed cases of primary CNS diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNS-DLBCL) over a period of 8 years were included. Cases showing MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) (double- or triple-expressor) were further analyzed by fluorescence Results: Of total 117 cases of PCNS-DLBCL, there were seven (5.9%) cases of double/triple-expressor lymphomas (DEL/TEL) (six double- and one triple-expressor) with median age of 51 years (age range: 31-77 years) and slight female predilection. All were located supratentorially and were of non-geminal center B-cell phenotype. Only triple-expressor case (MYC+/BCL2+/BCL6+) demonstrated concurrent rearrangements for Conclusion: DEL/TEL and DHL are uncommon in CNS; mostly located supratentorially and are associated with poor outcome. MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 IHC can be used as an effective screening strategy for ruling out double/ triple-expressor PCNS-DLBCLs.
