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

abstractSecondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL) is a rare manifestation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with a poor prognosis. We present updated data from a nationwide study on the incidence and clinical characteristics of SCNSL. The incidence of SCNSL was calculated considering death or relapse without SCNSL as competing risks. Risk factors associated with SCNSL were identified using a cause-specific Cox proportional hazards model. A total of 1972 patients with DLBCL were included, of which 68 (3.4%) experienced SCNSL at the first relapse. The crude 1- and 2-year cumulative incidence of SCNSL was 2.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-2.7) and 2.6% (95% CI, 2.0-3.4), respectively. For patients with a high-risk central nervous system international prognostic index (CNS-IPI) score, the 1- and 2-year cumulative incidence was 6.4% and 7.5%, respectively. The number and location of extranodal (EN) sites were the most significant predictors of SCNSL. Specific EN sites associated with an increased risk were the bone marrow, heart, kidneys/adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, and uterus. The median overall survival (OS) after SCNSL was 3.2 months. SCNSL within 6 months after the end of treatment (EOT) was associated with a higher baseline CNS-IPI score and worse OS than SCNSL >6 months after EOT. Patients with a combination of low-risk CNS-IPI and late-onset SCNSL had the most favorable prognosis. In conclusion, updated real-world population-based data on SCNSL at first relapse, adjusted for competing risks, demonstrated a lower incidence of SCNSL than previously reported, with the number and location of EN sites being the most significant predictors of SCNSL.
