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

backgroundDistinctive heterogeneity characterizes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), one of the most frequent types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Mitochondria have been demonstrated to be closely involved in tumorigenesis and progression, particularly in DLBCL.

objectiveThe purposes of this study were to identify the prognostic mitochondria-related genes (MRGs) in DLBCL, and to develop a risk model based on MRGs and machine learning algorithms.

methodsTranscriptome profiles and clinical information were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The risk model was defined using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) regression algorithm, and its prognostic value was further examined in independent datasets. Patients were stratified into two clusters based on the risk scores, additionally a nomogram was generated based on the risk score and clinical characteristics. Gene pathway level, microenvironment, expression of targeted therapy-associated genes, response to immunotherapy, drug sensitivity, and somatic mutation status were compared between clusters.

resultsEighteen prognostic MRGs (DNM1L, PUSL1, CHCHD4, COX7A1, CPT1A, CYP27A1, POLDIP2, PCK2, MRPL2, PDK3, PDK4, MARC2, ACSM3, COA7, THNSL1, ATAD3B, C15orf48, TOMM70A) were identified to construct the risk model. Remarkable discrepancies were observed between groups. The high-risk group had shorter overall survival, less immune infiltration, lower CD20 and higher PD-L1 expression than the low-risk group. Distinct immune microenvironment, responses to immunotherapy and predictive drug IC50 values were found between groups.

conclusionsWe established a novel prognostic mitochondria-related signature by machine learning algorithm, which also demonstrated outstanding predictive value in tumor microenvironment and responses to therapies.
