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/Aim: Interim positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan is a valuable tool for assessing the early metabolic response to chemotherapy in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Although radiotherapy is an effective treatment for lymphoma, especially for local tumor control, the role of consolidative radiotherapy in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains controversial. This study analyzed the clinical outcomes of patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP), stratified by interim PET response and the administration of radiotherapy. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 107 patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy between January 2012 and December 2016. Overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and freedom from disease progression (FFDP) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Results: Forty-six patients were included in this analysis, with a median follow-up time of 65.9 months (range=4.7-125.3 months). The metabolic CR (mCR) group exhibited superior OS, RFS, and FFDP compared with the metabolic PR (mPR) group (p=0.003, p=0.001, and p=0.008, respectively). The 1-, 2-, and 5-year FFDP were 92.97%, 89.3%, and 85.6%, respectively, in the mCR group and 78.6%, 61.9%, and 44.2%, respectively, in the mPR group. In subgroup analysis, the FFDP of the mPR group without radiotherapy was significantly lower than that of the other groups (mCR with/without radiotherapy and mPR with radiotherapy, p=0.001). Conclusion: Consolidative radiation therapy using interim PET can benefit patients who do not achieve mCR. Further well-controlled prospective randomized trials are required.
