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

Background: Previous researches mainly focused on whether cancer stem cells exist in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, subgroups with dismal prognosis and stem cell-like characteristics have been overlooked. Methods: Using large scale data ( Results: We identified a high-risk subgroup (25.6 % of DLBCL) with stem cell-like characteristics and dismal prognosis. This high-risk group (HRG) was featured by upregulation of key enzyme (ODC1) in polyamine metabolism and cold tumor microenvironment (TME), and had a poor prognosis with lower 3-year overall survival (OS) (54.3 % vs. 83.6 %, Conclusions: Our study effectively advances the precise risk stratification of DLBCL and reveals that ODC1 and immune-deserted microenvironment jointly shape a group of DLBCL patients with stem cell-like features. Targeting ODC1 regulates immunotherapies in DLBCL, offering new insights for DLBCL treatment.
