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

backgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have pinpointed many susceptibility loci for Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL), but their underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear.

methodsUtilizing GWAS data from the UK Biobank and FinnGen, along with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) statistics from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) and the eQTL Catalogue, we carried out a large-scale gene-level association study using Omnibus Transcriptome Test with Expression Reference Summary data (OTTERS), and gene-based analysis with eQTL Multi-marker Analysis of Genomic Annotation (E-MAGMA).

resultsWe identified sixteen susceptibility genes for HL (FDR < 0.01), primarily immune-related, including HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQA2, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DRB5, HLA-DMA, and HLA-DPB1, alongside genes involved in apoptosis, RNA processing, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. We identified five novel plausible genes, including HLA-DMA, HLA-DPB1, LSM2, AAR2, and NOTCH4.

conclusionThese findings highlight the role of the exogenous antigen presentation pathway in HL, shedding light on potential mechanisms.
