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: Relapsed/refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients face poor prognosis and limited therapies. The mTOR inhibitor everolimus and gemcitabine show modest efficacy as single agents in R/R PTCL, warranting investigation of combination regimens. Methods: This study conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of 24 patients diagnosed with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, aged 18 to 70 years, who experienced relapse or refractory disease following at least one first-line chemotherapy regimen, and received treatment at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between December 2017 and March 2021. CellTiter Glo and AnnexinV FITC/PI assays evaluated cell viability and apoptosis Results: The combination showed significant efficacy: objective response rate (ORR) 70.8%, complete response (CR) rate 45.8%, median time to response 1.7 months. With median follow-up of 22.3 months (95% CI 5.7-39.0), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.9 months (95% CI 0-20.81), and median duration of response (DOR) 16.8 months. Patients with CR/partial response (PR) had longer PFS (18.7 vs. 1.2 months, Conclusion: Everolimus-gemcitabine combination exhibits synergistic antitumor activity, offering a potential therapeutic strategy for R/R PTCL.
