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

Background: Burkitt lymphoma (BL), a rare, aggressive Methods: This retrospective study included 69 adult patients with BL (age >15 years) diagnosed between 2009 and 2023 using the WHO criteria. Most of the patients were administered R-hyperCVAD/MC, while rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) was administered to older patients or those with poor-performance-status to mitigate toxicity. Results: The median age of the patients was 55 years; 39.1% of the patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) of 2-4, 62.3% had >1 extranodal site, 71.0% had stage IV, and 13.0% had central nervous system involvement. Furthermore, 13 (18.8%) patients were reclassified as BL after immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IGH)/ Conclusions: Our study revealed that R-hyperCVAD/MC was effective but associated with high early mortality in older patients. Risk-adapted regimens and prognostic factors including age, B-symptoms, and ECOG-PS are crucial for optimizing treatment.
