Comprehensive study of anaplastic large cell lymphoma: clinicopathological features from Indonesia.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveAnaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare and aggressive CD30-positive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with histopathological features overlapping Hodgkin and T-cell lymphomas. ALK-positive ALCL shows a better prognosis than ALK-negative cases, which are often associated with advanced disease. This study evaluates the epidemiological profile of ALCL in Indonesian population and its distinct histopathological characteristics and immunohistochemical expression patterns.
resultsAmong 93 ALCL cases (2013-2023) enrolled at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, 13.9% were primary cutaneous ALCL, while 86.1% were systemic ALCL (consisted of 53.7% ALK-positive and 46.3% ALK-negative). ALK-positive patients were older (p = 0.009), with earlier-stage disease (p = 0.032) and nodal predilection (p = 0.032). ALK-negative cases demonstrated a shorter median survival of 23 months compared to ALK-positive cases of 28 months. Poor outcomes were associated with B symptoms and high Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) scores. Given that this study was conducted at a single, government-operated tertiary care teaching hospital in Indonesia's capital, validation through multicenter prospective studies is warranted to further refine diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
