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

backgroundSteroid 5α-reductase 3 (SRD5A3) is an important molecule involved in glycosylation and steroid hormone formation and is highly expressed in most tumors. However, The role of SRD5A3 in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) and its mechanism are unknown.

methodsWe used a multi-omics database to explore the expression and prognostic significance of SRD5A3 in various tumors, including B-NHL. We established SRD5A3 high- and low-expression B-NHL cell lines to test the effects of SRD5A3 on cell proliferation and apoptosis in vitro, and to analyze the signaling pathways associated with the effects of SRD5A3 on B-NHL.

resultsWe found that SRD5A3 was highly expressed in most tumors, including B-NHL, and was more highly expressed in patients age ≥60 years, high levels of LDH, stage III-IV, non-GCB subtype, and extra-nodal invasion. Survival analysis showed that high SRD5A3 expression predicted poorer overall survival (OS). Further experiments showed that SRD5A3 high expression promoted B-NHL growth and attenuates apoptosis, conversely, SRD5A3 low expression inhibited B-NHL growth and promoted apoptosis. Western blot assay showed SRD5A3 promotes B-NHL cells growth by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that SRD5A3 exerts its oncogenic effects by regulating the PI3K-AKT pathway, may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for B-NHL, providing information for clinical decision-making.
