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

Blastoid and pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma (B/P-MCL) represents a high-risk subtype of hematological malignancy with an unfavorable prognosis. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 76 patients with classic MCL and 81 patients with B/P-MCL between January 2010 and May 2024 to investigate clinical characteristics, outcomes, and prognostic factors. Ki-67 ≥ 30%, high MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI) scores, and frequent CD5 negativity were more prevalent in B/P-MCL than in classic MCL. In B/P-MCL, TP53 mutations (46.2%) were most common, followed by ATM (42.3%), CCND1 (23.1%), NOTCH1 (23.1%), KMT2D (23.1%), SMARCA4 (15.4%), and BIRC3 (15.4%). Multivariate analysis revealed that Ki−67% ≥90% and bone marrow involvement were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS); Ki−67% ≥90% and splenic involvement were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS). The blastoid and pleomorphic variants of MCL display distinct morphological characteristics and exhibit certain clinical differences; however, no statistically significant differences in PFS or OS have been demonstrated between these two subtypes. B/P-MCL is characterized by highly aggressive features and a dismal clinical course. Even with the adoption of intensified treatment protocols, the long-term prognosis for these patients remains unsatisfactory. Strengthened efforts to explore novel therapeutic strategies are crucial and may ultimately translate into improved clinical outcomes for this patient population.
