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

People with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) are at higher risk of developing Lymphomas in comparison to people without HIV. The risk of developing lymphomas in patients with HIV continues to persist, even in the HAART era. We retrospectively analysed outcomes of patients with HIV associated lymphomas between Jan 2012 and Oct 2022, with minimum follow up of 6 months. Outcomes have been reported in terms of overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS). Statistical methods such as Kaplan Meier test were used to assess the overall survival and progression free survival, while chi-square test was used to assess factors affecting disease response. Twenty-three patients were identified as HIV associated lymphoma in that duration. Four patients were excluded from the cohort due to insufficient data in the database record. 12 (63.15%) were male and 07 (36.85%) were females with male: female ratio of 1.7:1. Median age was 42 years ranging from 21 to 66 years. 11 (57.9%) patients had stage-4 disease at presentation. Median CD4 counts at diagnosis was 615/µl, ranging from 130 to 1100/µl. DLBCL cases were in majority which showed 60% of CR post 1st line Chemotherapy. At the last follow-up, 04 (21.05%) patients were dead and 15 (78.95%) patients were alive. 10 years Overall survival [OS] and Progression Free Survival [PFS] was found to be 78.95% ± 11 at a median follow up of 42.6 months ranging (1.7-114.3) months. HIV associated lymphomas have an acceptable prognosis, despite majority presenting with stage 4 disease, low median CD4 count at diagnosis, concomitant ART, and treatment with intensive chemotherapy.
