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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPatients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL) have suboptimal outcomes with standard therapies. Dose-adjusted R-EPOCH (R-DA-EPOCH) is often used in selected high-risk settings and may also serve as an effective chemo-mobilizing strategy for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We aimed to evaluate the impact of first-line R-DA-EPOCH on stem cell mobilization and transplantation outcomes.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 41 consecutive adult patients with high-risk DLBCL/HGBCL treated with first-line R-DA-EPOCH between 2016 and 2021. Stem cell collection was planned after cycle 5. The primary endpoint was the rate of poor mobilizers, defined as patients who collected <2 × 10

resultsThe rate of poor mobilizers was 31.7% (13/41), with 22% (9/41) of patients requiring PLX. Overall, 68% of patients achieved ≥2 × 10

conclusionsFirst-line R-DA-EPOCH enables effective stem cell mobilization in most high-risk DLBCL and HGBCL patients, although a substantial proportion require PLX support. These findings suggest that R-DA-EPOCH is a feasible platform for early mobilization and ASCT in selected patients.
