Interim Positron Emission Tomography-Adapted Treatment Strategies for Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma: Insights From Korean Real-World Data.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundABVD chemotherapy (consisting of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) and positron emission tomography (PET)-guided risk-adapted treatment have improved outcomes in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), but real-world evidence from Asian populations remains limited.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 270 patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma treated with ABVD at two Korean tertiary centers (2015-2024). Survival analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat basis including all 270 patients.
resultsAmong end-of-treatment (EOT) evaluable patients (n = 266), the complete response (CR) rate and overall response rate were 89.1% and 95.5%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 58.3 months, the estimated 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 81.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75.8-86.2%) and 88.8% (95% CI, 83.6-92.4%), respectively. In the interim PET-CR subgroup (n = 200), bleomycin omission (ABVD→AVD) did not impact survival (PFS:
conclusionABVD with PET-guided modification remains an effective and pragmatic first-line approach for cHL in Korean clinical practice. Real-world outcomes align with clinical trial data, even with limited use of novel agents. These findings support risk-adapted therapy tailored to patient response and regional treatment availability.
