Prognostic significance and pathogenesis of RFC3 gene expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtype in adults. Dysregulation of replication factor C subunit 3 (RFC3) gene expression were associated with disease progression and poor prognosis in various cancer types. However, its significance in DLBCL remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to characterize RFC3 expression patterns, clinical relevance, functional mechanisms, and potential therapeutic implications in DLBCL. Methods: Multi-omics analyses were performed using data extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project (GSE181063, GSE10846, GSE32918, GSE31312, GSE32018, and GSE12453) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). RFC3 expression was validated Results: RFC3 expression was significantly upregulated in DLBCL. High RFC3 expression was closely associated with poor prognosis, adverse clinical features, and adverse tumor microenvironment characteristics in DLBCL patients. Furthermore, multiple tumor proliferation and cancer-related signaling pathways were significantly enriched in the high RFC3 expression group. The pan-cancer analysis also revealed elevated RFC3 expression across several tumor types. Elevated RFC3 expression was strongly correlated with worse tumor prognosis. Conclusions: RFC3 may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for DLBCL. Further investigations into the mechanisms underlying RFC3 dysregulation may provide important insights for future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
