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

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a clinical syndrome characterised by the reactive activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and macrophages along with a substantial amount of cytokine secretion caused by various inductions. Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL)-associated HLH (NK/T-LAHLH) is rare in clinical practice with an incidence rate of 7.1-11.9% in NKTL patients. Currently, there is no standard first-line treatment with good efficacy for NK/T-LAHLH. The treatment of NK/T-LAHLH is still mainly based on chemotherapy regimens containing etoposide and dexamethasone. Recently, many new therapeutic drugs and schemes have been trialled for the treatment of NK/T-LAHLH, such as ruxolitinib, immune checkpoint inhibitors, pegaspargase, and the DEP regimen. However, NK/T-LAHLH is associated with overall poor prognosis. Improving overall understanding of NK/T-LAHLH is of great significance to ameliorating patient prognosis. This review systematically discussed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, current treatment regimens, and prognosis of NK/T-LAHLH to comprehensively elucidate this disease.
