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

purposeThe spleen plays a significant role in innate and adaptive immunity. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the splenic volume in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), research on which is limited.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 175 patients diagnosed with DLBCL. Based on optimal thresholds, patients were stratified into small (< 185 cm

resultsA significant decrease in progression-free survival (PFS) (P < 0.0001) and overall survival (OS) (P < 0.0001) was observed in the large group that received cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) without or with rituximab (R-CHOP) treatment. Among the 139 patients who received R-CHOP, significant adverse effects on PFS (P < 0.0036) and OS (P < 0.0035) were observed in the large group. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that enlarged splenic volume (≥ 315 cm

conclusionSplenic volume exceeding 315 cm
