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

Population-based data comparing the outcomes of patients with transformed follicular lymphoma (t-FL) and de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are lacking. The objective of this study was to compare the survival of patients with t-FL and de novo DLBCL diagnosed in the United States between 2010-2018. We hypothesized that patients with t-FL would have an inferior survival compared to patients with de novo DLBCL. The study outcomes were relative survival (RS), overall survival (OS), and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS) compared between t-FL and de novo DLBCL. Flexible parametric survival models were used to estimate the study outcomes. There were 569 cases of t-FL and 44,706 cases of de novo DLBCL. Patients with t-FL had an estimated 5-year RS of 54% [95% confidence interval (CI), 49-59%) compared to 67% (95% CI, 66-67%) for those with de novo DLBCL (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.50; P = 0.001). The corresponding 5-year OS estimates were 49% (95% CI, 44-53%) and 57% (95% CI, 57-58%), respectively (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.07-1.42; P = 0.004). The corresponding 5-year LSS estimates were 54% (95% CI, 50-59%) and 66% (95% CI, 65-66%), respectively (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.15-1.56; P < 0.001). This population-based registry analysis shows that patients with t-FL continue to have an inferior survival in the modern era and should be prioritized for enrollment in clinical trials.
