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

Mediastinal gray zone lymphoma (MGZL) has immunopathologic features between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and primary mediastinal thymic B-cell lymphoma (PMBL), leading to uncertainty regarding its biological relationship to these entities. We performed gene expression profiling from patients with MGZL (20), cHL (18), and PMBL (17) and show MGZL clusters between cHL and PMBL. Expression signatures reveal germinal B-cell and IFN regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) signatures were relatively low in MGZL and cHL compared with PMBL, indicating downregulation of the B-cell program in MGZL, a hallmark of cHL. T-cell and macrophage signatures were higher in MGZL and cHL compared with PMBL, consistent with infiltrating immune cells, which are found in cHL. The NFκB signature was higher in MGZL than PMBL, and like cHL, MGZL and PMBL express NFκB inducing kinase (NIK), indicating noncanonical signaling. These findings indicate that while MGZL has distinctive clustering, it is biologically closer to cHL.
