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

162 patients with relapsed secondary central nervous system lymphoma (R-SCNSL) (median age, 65 years; male, 59.9%) including central nervous system (CNS)-only (n = 120) and concomitant CNS/systemic relapse (n = 42) were retrospectively analyzed. Overall, 21.9% of patients were classified as high risk according to the CNS International Prognostic Index (CNS-IPI). Several biological and clinical features were significantly associated with leptomeningeal involvement, including double- or triple-hit (DHL/THL) status, MYC rearrangement, negative BCL6 expression by IHC, bone marrow involvement, and concomitant R-SCNSL. Multivariable analysis showed that leptomeningeal involvement independently predicted inferior OS and was associated with a 98% increase in the hazard of death compared with parenchymal relapse (HR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.20-3.26, p = 0.008). Based on anatomical localization, R-SCNSL was classified into four subtypes: parenchymal-only involvement (parenchymal-CNS [P-CNS], 68/42%) and parenchymal involvement plus systemic relapse (parenchymal-concomitant [P-concomitant], 17/10.5%); and leptomeningeal with or without parenchymal involvement (leptomeningeal-CNS [LM-CNS], 52/32.1%) and leptomeningeal with systemic relapse (leptomeningeal-concomitant [LM-concomitant], 25/15.4%). This anatomical classification significantly impacted OS and PFS (p < 0.001). Two-year OS and PFS were 58.2% and 29.1% for P-CNS, 32.4% and 17.7% for P-concomitant, 22% and 13.9% for LM-CNS, and 7.1% and 0% for LM-concomitant, respectively. ASCT showed a trend toward improved survival among patients with a response (CR/PR) in a 4-month landmark analysis. These findings support the clinical application of the anatomical classification in the management of R-SCNSL.
