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

Introduction: Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is treated with intensive chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDT-ASCT), yet up to one-third of patients relapse. Standard MRI response criteria may not reliably distinguish residual tumour from post-treatment change; additional MRI sequences, such as apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), could assist in the determination of early relapses, although their prognostic value remains uncertain. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 63 PCNSL patients, assessed pre-HDT-ASCT IPCG response and ADC values, and examined associations with 2-year relapse-free survival. Results: Only pre-HDT-ASCT IPCG status, not the lesion ADC value, significantly predicted the 2-year outcome ( Conclusions: Pre-HDT-ASCT IPCG status, not ADC values, predicts 2-year IPCG status in PCNSL patients.
