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

Natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL), an Epstein-Barr virus-associated malignancy, is a highly aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, the intratumoral heterogeneity and the interaction within the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain insufficiently understood. Here, we utilized single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to analyze tissues from NKTCL patients, identifying five malignant meta-programs (MPs) with distinct functional pathways, differentiation trajectories, and spatial distributions. Notably, the MP3 subgroup emerges at the early stages of tumor differentiation, characterized by the hyperactivation of MYC signaling and an association with poor prognosis. Intriguingly, pharmacologic inhibition of fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) leads to the downregulation of c-Myc and significantly impairs tumor growth both
