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

Composite lymphoma (CL) is rare. We conducted an analysis of 53 329 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 17,916 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and 869 cases of composite HL and DLBCL from the SEER database diagnosed between 2000 and 2019. Incidence rates showed increasing trends with age for CL and DLBCL, while HL exhibited 2 peak incidence rates: 42.05 (95% CI: 40.88-43.25) per million for the age group 20-24 and 43.20 (95% CI: 41.13-45.35) per million for 75-79. Higher incidence rates were observed in males (CL, 0.68, 95% CI: 0.62-0.74; HL, 29.65, 95% CI: 29.27-30.03; DLBCL, 86.18, 95% CI: 85.51-86.86) compared to females (CL, 0.40, 95% CI: 0.36-0.45; HL, 23.15, 95% CI: 22.83-23.49; DLBCL, 57.56, 95% CI: 57.06-58.06; P < .001). We first identified independent prognostic factors for composite HL and DLBCL, which were used for development of a scoring nomogram. Factors such as primary tumor site, marital status, chemotherapy, and sex predominantly influence short-term survival, while Ann Arbor stage plays a significant role in long-term survival. Furthermore, there were notable differences in demographic characteristics, survival outcomes, and death cause among CL, HL, and DLBCL. This study provides the first comprehensive report of composite HL and DLBCL.
