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

purposeThis study aims to investigate the diagnostic value of baseline F18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) parameters and peripheral blood inflammatory markers in aggressive lymphoma of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and the correlation between peripheral blood inflammatory markers and maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max ). PATIENTS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis including 121 patients with NHL. Patients were divided into aggressive lymphoma group and indolent lymphoma group. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and multivariate stepwise logistic regression were used to analyse. Subsequently, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic performance. Additionally, Spearman correlation analysis was utilized to explore the correlation between peripheral blood inflammatory markers and SUV max .

resultsLeptin mass criterion uptake value (SUL) max , SUV max , SUV avg , SUV peak , focal SUV max /liver SUV max , focal SUV max / mediastinal SUV max , SUL avg , SUL peak , systemic immune-inflammation (SII), neutrophil ratio, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), neutrophils versus lymphocyte ratio (NLR), plateletto-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and lymphocyle ratio between two groups were statistically significant ( P  < 0.05). SUV max was an independent influencing factor, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.862. There was a positive correlation between the PLR and SUV max ( r  = 0.239; P  = 0.008).

conclusionPET/CT parameters and peripheral blood inflammatory markers have certain value in the diagnosis of aggressive lymphoma in NHL, among which SUV max is an independent influencing marker and is positively correlated with PLR.
