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.
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
backgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a prevalent malignant tumor, with approximately 40% of patients encountering treatment challenges or relapse attributed to rituximab resistance, primarily due to diminished or absent CD20 expression. Our prior research identified PDK4 as a key driver of rituximab resistance through its negative regulation of CD20 expression. Further investigation into PDK4's resistance mechanism and the development of advanced exosome nanoparticle complexes may unveil novel resistance targets and pave the way for innovative, effective treatment modalities for DLBCL.
methodsWe utilized a DLBCL-resistant cell line with high PDK4 expression (SU-DHL-2/R). We infected it with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) lentivirus for RNA sequencing, aiming to identify significantly downregulated mRNA in resistant cells. Techniques including immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting were employed to determine PDK4's localization and expression in resistant cells and its regulatory role in phosphorylation of Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8). Furthermore, we engineered advanced exosome nanoparticle complexes, aCD20@Exo
resultsWe found that PDK4 initiates HDAC8 activation by phosphorylating the Ser-39 site, suppressing CD20 protein expression through deacetylation. The aCD20@Exo
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that PDK4 contributes to rituximab resistance in DLBCL by modulating CD20 expression via HDAC8 phosphorylation. The designed exosome nanoparticles effectively overcome this resistance by targeting the PDK4/HDAC8/CD20 pathway, representing a promising approach for drug delivery and treating patients with Rituximab-resistant DLBCL.
