Impact of marital status on survival in patients with follicular lymphoma.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Although marital status has been associated with survival in several cancers, evidence regarding its prognostic relevance in follicular lymphoma (FL), an indolent lymphoma characterized by prolonged survival, remains limited. In this population-based study using the SEER database, we identified 23,434 adult patients diagnosed with FL between 2013 and 2022. Propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline characteristics, and survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models. In the overall cohort, unmarried patients were more likely to be female, older, and present with B symptoms (all P < 0.001), and demonstrated significantly lower 5-year overall survival (OS: 72.8% vs. 81.0%, P < 0.001) and cause-specific survival (CSS: 84.9% vs. 90.6%, P < 0.001) compared with married patients. After 1:1 propensity score matching on age, sex, race/ethnicity, Ann Arbor stage, B symptoms, treatment status, prior cancer history, and diagnosis year (matched cohort, n = 16,384), this survival disparity persisted (5-year OS: 72.5% vs. 81.3%; CSS: 84.7% vs. 90.7%; both P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression confirmed that unmarried status was independently associated with increased risks of OS (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.53-1.71, P < 0.001) and CSS (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.63-1.92, P < 0.001). These findings suggest that unmarried status is an independent adverse prognostic factor in patients with FL and highlight additional attention may be warranted for unmarried individuals during long-term disease management.
