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.

Abstract

abstractEarly detection of ultrahigh-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an unmet medical need to aid patient stratification for alternative treatment approaches. Metabolomics applied to biofluids of patients with cancer has emerged as a novel omics that could provide important information to better stratify these patients. In this work, the authors performed a retrospective study by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics using plasma samples at diagnosis from 154 randomized patients with DLBCL treated by R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) (from the phase 3 REMARC [Reduced-intensity Maintenance therapy with Rituximab After R-CHOP in elderly patients with DLBCL] trial). Remarkably, a combination of 3 circulating metabolites was linked to lipid metabolism (named the "NMR score") that significantly affected overall survival (OS) (P< .0001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P = .0003). The optimal cutoff for each metabolite was determined using X-Tile and confirmed by a training validation method. Combining 2-amino-butyrate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, and LDL-1 lipoprotein yielded 3 risk groups with low- (0-1), intermediate- (2-3), and high-risk (4-5) patients. Germinal center B-cell (GCB)/non-GCB profile along with Bcl2 and Myc expression did not correlate with NMR score survival. In conclusion, the combination of 3 circulating metabolites linked to lipid metabolism is revealed as a feature that captures heterogeneity among patients with DLBCL. This NMR score seemed promising for DLBCL risk stratification, even among responder patients after R-CHOP treatment. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT01122472.
