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

backgroundTherapies for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are limited due to the diverse gene expression profiles and complicated immune microenvironments, making it an aggressive lymphoma. Beyond this, researches have shown that ferroptosis contributes to tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis. We thus are interested to dissect the connection between ferroptosis and disease status of DLBCL. We aim at generating a valuable prognosis gene signature for predicting the status of patients of DLBCL, with focus on ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs).

objectiveTo examine the connection between ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) and clinical outcomes in DLBCL patients based on public datasets.

methodsAn expression profile dataset for DLBCL was downloaded from GSE32918 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ query/acc.cgi?acc=gse32918), and a ferroptosis-related gene cluster was obtained from the FerrDb database (http://www. zhounan.org/ferrdb/). A prognostic signature was developed from this gene cluster by applying a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis to GSE32918, followed by external validation. Its effectiveness as a biomarker and the prognostic value was determined by a receiver operator characteristic curve mono factor analysis. Finally, functional enrichment was evaluated by the package Cluster Profiler of R.

resultsFive ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) (GOP1, GPX2, SLC7A5, ATF4, and CXCL2) associated with DLBCL were obtained by a multivariate analysis. The prognostic power of these five FRGs was verified by TCGA (https://xenabrowser.net/datapages/?dataset=TCGA.DLBC.sampleMap%2FHiSeqV2_PANCAN&host=https%3A%2F%2Ftcga.xenahubs.net&removeHub=https%3A%2F%2Fxena.treehouse.gi.ucsc.edu%3A44) and GEO (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=gse 32918) datasets, with ROC analyses. KEGG and GO analyses revealed that upregulated genes in the high-risk group based on the gene signature were enriched in receptor interactions and other cancer-related pathways, including pathways related to abnormal metabolism and cell differentiation.

conclusionThe newly developed signature involving GOP1, GPX2, SLC7A5, ATF4, and CXCL2 has the potential to serve as a prognostic biomarker. Furthermore, our results provide additional support for the contribution of ferroptosis to DLBCL.
