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

backgroundTransformed lymphoma occurs when indolent lymphoma transforms into more aggressive lymphoma usually associated with poor prognosis.

methodsIn this study, we analysed the immunophenotypes, prognostic factors and outcomes of 35 patients with transformed lymphoma from among 306 marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), 544 follicular lymphoma (FL) and 871 chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) cases. In addition, we performed whole-exome sequencing study of seven transformed MZL (tMZL) cases.

resultsOur results demonstrate that the median time from indolent lymphoma diagnosis to transformed DLBCL was 35 months (range, 14-53 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates after histological transformation (HT) were 50% and 26%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that asynchronous HT and transformed CLL/SLL (tCLL/SLL) were significant adverse prognostic factors for OS after DLBCL HT. We identified mutations involvement in chromatin remodelling (

conclusionWhole-exome sequencing and copy-number analysis revealed that tMZL derives from the divergent evolution of an ancestral common progenitor clone (CPC). Collectively, this study provides clinicopathological characteristics of three common types of transformed lymphomas and the genetic profile of tMZL with diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
