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

backgroundFollicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the United States and Europe. However, data on FL from Latin America are scant.

aimsThis study aims at better understand the clinical features, treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with FL in Chile. Of special interest was to evaluate POD24 as an adverse marker. METHODS AND

resultsWe collected retrospective data from 722 patients 15 years or older diagnosed with FL and treated in 17 cancer centers in Chile between 2000 and 2019. Time to first treatment (TTFT), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional-hazard regression models were fitted to investigate prognostic factor. The median age at diagnosis was 62 with a female predominance (63%); 73% of patients had advance stage disease and 68% had bone marrow involvement; 63% had intermediate or high FLIPI scores. The 1-year TTFT rate was 96%, and 30% of patients received chemoimmunotherapy. Adding rituximab to chemotherapy was associated with a higher complete response (69% vs. 60%; p < 0.001) and superior median OS (16 vs. 8 years; p < 0.001). Patients who experience POD24 had an inferior median OS (2.4 vs. 15 years).

conclusionOur study shows a female predominance in patients with FL in Chile and confirms superior response and survival outcomes with adding rituximab to chemotherapy. Our study also confirms a poor OS in patients who experience POD24.
