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

PET after 2 ABVD cycles (PET-2) is widely adopted to select patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), who might benefit from intensifying or de-escalating therapy. Prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) has been reported in PET-2 positive patients switched to escalated BEACOPP (eBEACOPP) or BEACOPP-14. Nevertheless, the subgroup of patients with a PET-2 scored 5 according to Deauville score (PET-2 DS5) are known to poorly benefit from treatment intensification. To elucidate PET-2 DS5 outcome along with possible predictive factors of response to intensification, a pooled analysis from three multicenter trials, GITIL/FIL HD0607, RATHL, and SWOG S0816, was conducted. PFS and overall survival (OS) were assessed after 41-month median follow-up, the prognostic value of clinical, laboratory, and PET parameters at diagnosis was evaluated. Among 2231 patients, 136 (6%) PET-2 DS5 patients were identified. Their 3-year PFS was 32% (95% CI, 25-42), while the 3-year OS was 82% (95% CI, 75-89). In multivariate analysis low lymphocyte (< 600/mm
