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: Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma constitutes a significant proportion of primary stomach lymphomas. The optimal dosage for radiotherapy and standardized follow-up protocols are yet to be universally established. This study focuses on stage I gastric MALT lymphoma patients, presenting clinical outcomes of radiotherapy with a unique dose of 30 Gy in 15 fractions and analyzing remission time. Methods: A retrospective cohort study, approved by the institutional review board, included consecutive stage I gastric MALT lymphoma patients undergoing curative radiotherapy between 2008 and 2022. Staging followed the Lugano Modification of the Ann Arbor Staging System. The prescribed dose was uniform dose of 30 Gy in 15 fractions. Results: Fifty-three patients were eligible, with a median age of 63 years. All achieved complete remission (CR), with a median CR time of 3.9 months. At a median follow-up of 56.8 months, no deaths occurred, and three recurrences were noted. The 5-year overall survival, local control survival, and disease-free survival rates were 100%, 100%, and 97.7%, respectively. No severe acute adverse events were observed. Conclusion: The study demonstrates sustained and favorable long-term disease control with a 30 Gy dose in 15 fractions for stage I gastric MALT lymphoma. Comparisons with existing literature highlight the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy in achieving durable remission. Ongoing efforts explore dose reduction and technological advancements to minimize toxicity. This study emphasizes the importance of awaiting clinical response confirmation to validate these outcomes in patients with gastric MALT lymphoma.
