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

backgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is characterized by heterogeneity in biology and clinical behavior. Mutations in the myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MYD88) are found in different lymphoproliferative disorders and are associated with variable clinical and prognostic impact.

aimTo investigate the frequency of MYD88 L265P mutation and its clinical impact in a cohort of Egyptian DLBCL patients.

methodsFFPE lymph node samples from 87 DLBCL patients (46 males / 41 females; median age, 58 years) were included and analyzed for MYD88 L265P by an allele-specific PCR.

resultsMYD88 L265P mutations were found in 52 patients (59.8%) out of 87 DLBCL cases. Patients with L265 mutation were significantly younger than non-mutated patients (p = 0.022). None of the patients with the L265P mutation showed a significant association with the clinical parameters of DLBCL. Interestingly, MYD88 L265 mutated patients were found to be significantly correlated with HCV infection (p = 0.037). The median follow-up time across the entire cohort was 26 months. Univariate analysis showed that overall survival (OS) was affected by gender, LDH level, and CNS-IPI scoring (p = 0.048, 0.008, and 0.046, respectively), while disease-free survival (DFS) was affected by B symptoms and LDH level (p =  < 0.000 and 0.02, respectively). However, the MYD88 mutation status and other prognostic factors showed no association with OS or DFS.

conclusionsOur findings indicate a high frequency of MYD88 L265P mutations in our study population and not associated with prognostic markers or the outcome of the disease.
