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

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that predominantly affects the elderly and carries a poor prognosis. When arising in the orbit, DLBCL is characterized by rapid growth, high invasiveness, and a risk of severe vision loss. Despite the use of the R-CHOP regimen, long-term survival outcomes remain suboptimal, highlighting the need for new prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Methods: We explored stomatin as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for orbital DLBCL. Stomatin expression was analyzed using the GEO database (GSE83632), and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to assess its causal relationship with DLBCL. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on orbital DLBCL specimens to evaluate stomatin expression. The functional role of stomatin was examined through siRNA-mediated knockdown in DLBCL cell lines, followed by validation using quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8, Transwell assays, and flow cytometry. Results: Database analysis revealed elevated stomatin expression in DLBCL, and MR analysis suggested a positive causal association with disease development. IHC confirmed significantly increased stomatin expression in orbital DLBCL tissues, which was associated with poor prognosis based on survival analysis. Vitro assays demonstrated that stomatin knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting apoptosis. Discussion: Our findings indicate that stomatin contributes to orbital DLBCL progression and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Stomatin may serve as both a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for this malignancy.
