Prognostic value of interim PET/CT in GCB and non-GCB DLBCL: comparison of the Deauville five-point scale and the ΔSUVmax method.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

methodsBaseline
resultsA significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) was found between GCB and non-GCB DLBCL patients (P < 0.05). Based on D-5PS criteria, I-PET was divided into positive (score > 3) and negative (score ≤ 3) subgroups. Results indicated that I-PET using D-5PS criteria was an independent predictor for PFS of GCB DLBCL (P < 0.05), but not for overall survival (OS) (P > 0.05). For non-GCB DLBCL, PFS and OS were significantly higher in I-PET negative group than I-PET positive group (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis proved that I-PET using ΔSUVmax can also effectively predict PFS and OS of non-GCB DLBCL (P < 0.05), but not for GCB DLBCL (P > 0.05). Based on the optimal threshold found by ROC curve analysis, patients were dichotomized into ∆SUVmax high and low groups. Log-rank test and Cox regression demonstrated that the layered ∆SUVmax was predictive of PFS and OS in non-GCB DLBCL (P < 0.05).
conclusionsI-PET may have different prognostic values for GCB and non-GCB DLBCL. Thus, the pathology type of DLBCL may be considered while using I-PET as a prognostic tool in the future.
