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

backgroundThe germinal center B-cell (GCB) and activated B-cell (ABC) subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have a significant difference in prognosis. This study aimed to identify potential hub genes, and key pathways involved in them.

methodsDatabases including Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and STRING were accessed to obtain potential crucial genes and key pathways associated with the GCB and ABC. Then qRT-PCR and Western blot experiments were performed to verify the most clinically significant gene and pathway.

resultsThree cohort datasets from the GEO database were analyzed, including 195 GCB and 169 ABC samples. We identified 1113 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the GCB and ABC subtypes. The DEGs were mainly enriched in biological processes (BP). The KEGG analysis showed enrichment in cell cycle and Wnt signaling pathways. We selected the top 10 genes using the STRING database and Cytoscape software. We used 5 calculation methods of the cytoHubba plugin, and found 3 central genes (IL-10, CD44, CCND2). CCND2 was significantly related to the prognosis of DLBCL patients. Besides, our experimental results demonstrated a significantly higher expression of CCND2 in the ABC-type cell line than in the GCB-type; it was proportional to the expression of key proteins in the Wnt signaling pathway.

conclusionCCND2 overexpression and Wnt pathway activation might be the main reasons for the poor prognosis of ABC-DLBCL.
