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

backgroundMolecular target therapy has become a hot spot in cancer treatment, finding effective targets for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an urgent problem.

objectiveTo detect the expression level of C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) in DLBCL and clarify its potential role in the progression of DLBCL.

methodsGene expression datas of DLBCL were obtained from TCGA and GEO databases. The relationship between CCL18 and clinicopathologic information of DLBCL was assessed using meta-analysis method. Then we conducted bioinformatics analysis to uncover the biological function of CCL18 and its co-expression genes. Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect expression of CCL18 in DLBCL and reactive hyperplasia lymphoid tissues.

resultsThe expression of CCL18 in DLBCL was higher than negative control group. The levels of CCL18 were distinct in different molecular subtypes and ages, and patients with higher level of CCL18 had a shorter overall survival than those with lower level. CCL18 and its co-expression genes were enriched in biological function such as cell proliferation, migration, apoptotic, and correlated with NF-κB, pathway in cancer, PI3K-AKT pathway.

conclusionsCCL18 was up-regulated in DLBCL and related to poor prognosis. CCL18 may act as a valuable target for diagnosis and treatment of DLBCL.
