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: Mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) is a prevalent pediatric malignancy with significant treatment advancements. This study retrospectively analyzes clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and survival rates of children and adolescents diagnosed with B-NHL at Al-Hasan Al-Mojtaba Hospital between January 2014 and December 2024. A comparative analysis was performed between the LMB96 and R-CHOP regimens. Methods: Patients with confirmed diagnoses of Large B-cell lymphoma or Burkitt's lymphoma, based on WHO classification criteria, were included. Staging was conducted using the St. Jude system, and risk classification followed the FAB/LMB criteria. Treatment involved a modified LMB96 regimen, later replaced by R-CHOP in the last two years of the study. Event-free survival (EFS) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves, with stratifications by staging, risk group, and gender. Results: A total of 66 patients were included (median age: 5.8 years; 69.7 % male). Burkitt's lymphoma was the predominant histology (86.3 %). The abdomen was the most common primary site (84.8 %). The majority of patients (72.7 %) presented with advanced-stage disease (Stages III and IV). Risk group classification identified 62.1 % of patients in Group B and 28.8 % in Group C. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed Group A had the most favorable prognosis (EFS ∼100 %), followed by Group B (∼75 %), and Group C (∼50 %). Disease stage significantly influenced survival ( Conclusion: Advanced-stage B-NHL remains prevalent, with significant survival differences based on staging and risk classification. The transition from LMB96 to R-CHOP warrants further evaluation to optimize pediatric treatment strategies. Larger studies are needed to validate observed gender-based survival trends.
