The Prognostic and Risk Factors for Children With High-Risk Mature B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07168980 (Intensive Chemotherapy Combined With Early, Adequate, and Intensive Use of Rituximab for Aggressive B-NHL in Children and Adolescents), which is not on this map.

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.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS AND
aimsOur previous study (CCCG-BNHL-2015) reported the treatment strategies and outcomes of pediatric B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) in China which showed that children in low-risk groups already have a dramatically favorable prognosis. However, for high-risk groups, the prognosis still needs to be improved. In this study, we aimed to identify the factors influencing prognosis in high-risk groups (stage III and stage IV).
resultsOur results revealed that gender, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, stage at the time of diagnosis, and early complete remission (CR) achievement were significant factors influencing prognosis (p < 0.05). The 3-year EFS rate for R4 group patients without rituximab treatment was only 25.0% ± 20.4%. Among all patients in stage IV, the 5-year EFS rates for those with involvement of only bone marrow (BM) or central nervous system (CNS) were 83.0% ± 4.5%, 81.8% ± 8.2%, but the 5-year EFS rates for those with both BM and CNS involved were only 37.5% ± 15.3% (p = 0.002). For stage III patients with LDH ≥ 4N, the 5-year EFS rates for those achieving CR and those not achieving CR after 2 treatment cycle were 88.9% ± 5.2% and 67.9% ± 7.3%(p = 0.036).
conclusionsTherefore, R4 group patients benefited from rituximab treatment. However, children at stage III, LDH ≥ 4N not achieving CR after the 2nd treatment cycle, and those with both BM and CNS involved are still at a very high risk of treatment failure. This study serves as a crucial reference for optimizing risk stratification, refining treatment categorizations, and optimizing treatment protocols.
