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.

Abstract
Background: Clonal mature B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (B-LPDs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasia characterized by the proliferation of mature B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow and/or lymphoid tissues. B-LPDs classification into different subtypes and their diagnosis is based on a multiparametric approach. However, accurate diagnosis may be challenging, especially in cases of ambiguous interpretation. Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) represents an extensively used technique to detect the presence of different cellular lines in immunology and hematology. MFC results provide an essential contribution to the B-LPDs diagnostic process, even more so considering that panels are constantly integrating novel markers to improve diagnostic accuracy. Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the contributing role of MFC routinary studies by analyzing the expression and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD200, ROR1, and CD43 in various B-LPDs to evaluate their usefulness in the differential diagnosis of these diseases. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 2615 consecutive cases of newly collected samples (mostly from patients with lymphocytosis) analyzed by MFC carried out in the B-LPD diagnostic process referred to the Division of Hematology of the Sapienza University of Rome. We compared the results of CD200, ROR1, and CD43 expression percentage and their MFI between different subtypes of B-LPDs. Results: In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), CD200, ROR1, and CD43 were always expressed with bright intensity. CLL samples presented high CD200 expression and MFI [CD200%, mean: 100 (range, 24-100); positivity rate: 100%; MFI, median = 125 (range, 10-1200)] statistically higher than mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (p<0.001), which is usually negative for CD200, and variant hairy cell leukemia (vHCL, according to 2022 ICC) (p<0.001), but comparable with classic HCL (cHCL) (p>0.9). ROR1 resulted expressed in all CLL [ROR1%, mean: 100 (range, 52-100), positivity rate: 100%; MFI, median=50 (range, 10-202)] and MCL cases with comparable MFI (p>0.9). CD43 expression and MFI were significantly higher in CLL [CD43%, mean 99 (range, 59-100); positivity rate: 100%; MFI, median = 130 (range, 41-980)] than in MCL, vHCL, cHCL, and all the others mature B-cell neoplasia (p<0.001). CD200 and CD43 expression and MFI were significantly higher in cHCL compared to vHCL. Among the other mature B-cell neoplasia, CD200 was variably expressed in follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL). ROR1 and CD43 presented a very low expression percentage in this latter group, being mostly negative. Persistent polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (PPBL) resulted in uniformly positive for CD200 and negative for ROR1 and CD43. Conclusions: Our data suggest that evaluating CD200, ROR1, and CD43 antigens and their intensity of expression, along with commonly used markers in MFC routine panels for B-LPDs, might be extremely useful for prompt diagnostic evaluation in the differential diagnosis of these diseases.
