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

Patients with DLBCL achieving complete metabolic response (CMR) after initial treatment with R-CHOP generally have a favourable prognosis; however, there are no established prognostic biomarkers for relapse in these patients. Soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels at diagnosis are prognostic factors in patients with DLBCL. However, the significance of post-treatment sIL-2R levels is unclear. To determine the significance of post-treatment serum sIL-2R levels on subsequent relapse and survival, we retrospectively analysed 485 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL who received R-CHOP treatment and achieved CMR. The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was significantly higher in patients with elevated post-treatment sIL-2R levels than in those with normal sIL-2R levels (five-year CIR; 38.8% vs. 12.8%). The prognostic value remained significant in multivariable analysis (hazard ratio, 2.30; p < 0.001). Five-year progression-free survival (49.0% vs. 83.5%) and overall survival (61.7% vs. 91.6%) rates were lower in patients with elevated post-treatment sIL-2R levels than in those with normal sIL-2R levels (p < 0.001 for both). In patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL who achieved CMR after R-CHOP treatment, the post-treatment serum sIL-2R level was an independent prognostic marker of subsequent relapse and survival.
