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

CD20 expression is a hallmark of B-cell lymphomas and the target of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Although CD20 negativity at second-line therapy initiation has been reported, its prevalence and prognostic impact in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remain uncertain. We assessed the prevalence of CD20 negativity at second-line initiation and its association with overall survival (OS) in a nationwide cohort. We included consecutive Danish adults with DLBCL, FL, or MCL who received rituximab-based first-line therapy and were diagnosed between 2005 and 2023, for whom CD20 expression was evaluated at second-line initiation. The primary endpoint was OS from second-line therapy, stratified by CD20 status. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was adjusted for age, sex, and subtype-specific international prognostic indices. Among 1375 patients (814 with DLBCL, 339 with FL, 222 with MCL), 168 (12.2%) were CD20
