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

This study evaluated clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and CNS relapse patterns in patients with breast-involved diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a rare extranodal presentation with limited real-world data. We conducted a retrospective study on 33 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed breast-involved DLBCL treated from 2019 to 2024. All patients received R-CHOP. Baseline CNS screening-including neurological examination, fundoscopy, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis-was routinely performed. High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) was offered as CNS prophylaxis after completion of systemic therapy based on multidisciplinary team evaluation and clinician-patient shared decision-making according to institutional treatment protocols. Median age was 52.6 years; 84.8% had ECOG 0. Non-GCB subtype predominated (84.8%), and Ki-67 >70% was present in 69.7%. The overall response rate was 90.9%, with 84.8% complete responses. At a median follow-up of 44 months, 5-year Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) were 84.8% and 66.7%. CNS relapse occurred in 4 of 6 patients (66.7%) without prophylaxis, all within 5-11 months after R-CHOP, whereas no CNS relapses were observed among prophylaxis recipients (
