Real-World Outcomes of Frontline Multimodal Treatment Strategies for Localized Extranodal NK/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type: A Single-Center Vietnamese Cohort Study.

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.
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
introductionExtranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL-NT), is a rare and aggressive lymphoma for which real-world data from resource-limited settings remain scarce. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of frontline multimodal treatment strategies for localized ENKTL-NT.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 62 patients with localized ENKTL-NT treated at the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital between May 2019 and June 2025. Patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by VIPD or VIDL, or sequential chemoradiotherapy with GELOX/PGEMOX. Treatment responses, survival outcomes, and toxicities were assessed.
resultsThe median age was 44 years, and 67.7% of patients had stage I disease. Baseline EBV-DNA positivity was detected in 46.8%, while 54.8% had PINKE scores of 1-2. The overall response rate was 93.5%, including an 85.5% complete response rate. Grade 3-4 neutropenia was the most common adverse event (18.7%). The estimated 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 76.3% and 79.5%, respectively. Multivariable Cox analysis identified PINKE risk stratification as an independent predictor of both PFS and OS.
conclusionsFrontline multimodal treatment strategies achieved high response rates, favorable survival outcomes, and manageable toxicities in localized ENKTL-NT. The PINKE score remained an important prognostic factor, supporting risk-adapted treatment selection in routine clinical practice.
