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

Purpose: Doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy is the current standard treatment for early-stage Hodgkins lymphoma (HL). The use of consolidative radiation therapy (RT) in addition to chemotherapy may lead to better survival rates but is controversial because of concerns about long-term toxicity. The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of patients receiving ABVD chemotherapy alone (CTX alone) versus ABVD with consolidative RT (CMT). Methods and Materials: A single-institution, retrospective review of patients with HL diagnosed from 2000 to 2014 was conducted. Patients were identified from the National Cancer Database. Inclusion criteria included patients aged ≥18 years, with stage I or II HL, who received ABVD with a complete response with/without CMT. Consolidative RT must have been started within 90 days of completing chemotherapy. Institutional review board approval was obtained. Follow-up details and treatment responses were collected from medical record reviews. Standard statistical analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate relapse-free survival (RFS). Results: One hundred and 8 patients with early-stage HL were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 31 years (range, 19-72). Most patients were female (63%) and Caucasian (65%). stage II HL was present in 89%of patients, 89% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 0 or 1, 35% had B symptoms, and 9% had extranodal involvement. A total of 52.8% received CMT ( Conclusions: ABVD with consolidative RT was associated with improved RFS. Further studies of toxicity comparisons, advanced stages, and nonfavorable HL are warranted.
