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

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a common secondary malignancy after transplantation, which has been recognized as a life-threatening complication. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)-type PTLD is the rarest of four subtypes of PTLD, which has no treatment guideline due to its rarity. HL-type PTLD includes classical HL-type PTLD (cHL-PTLD) and HL-like PTLD. In our study, we reported the case of successful treatment using brentuximab vedotin (BV) plus sirolimus for a patient with classical HL-type PTLD in detail. Lymph node biopsy showed a picture of classical HL with mixed cellularity subtype, and immunophenotyping suggested CD30 strong positivity. Due to his impaired physical condition, we decided against intensive chemotherapy and started BV treatment with immunosuppressive agents switched to sirolimus. The 66-year-old patient with cHL-PTLD had achieved a durable complete remission for over a 1-year follow-up period. Additionally, we analyzed the clinical profile and outcomes in PTLD patients who used BV monotherapy or combined therapy by literature review. In summary, this case-based review might provide clues that treatment of cHL-PTLD with new modalities such as BV monotherapy or combination therapy, together with improvements in the immunosuppressive regimens like sirolimus, might be a feasible and chemotherapy-free approach, but warrants further evaluation in a larger patient cohort.
