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: The epidemiological investigation of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) among the genetically peculiar population of the Italian island of Sardinia might provide interesting etiological clues. Methods: We used the database of 1974-2003 incident cases of hematological malignancies in Sardinia and Bayesian methods to explore the time trend and geographic spread of HL incidence by sex, and age whether ≤44 or ≥45 years. We also tested its association with several socio-economic and environmental risk factors. Results: The age- and sex-standardized (world population) incidence rate of HL was 2.6 per 100,000 (95% CI, 2.5-2.8). Over the study period, HL incidence increased linearly in both sexes and among those aged ≤44 years but not above that age Conclusions: Our results prompt further in-depth investigation into the previously undetected cluster and the nature of the observed associations.
