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

Dysregulated autophagy and its therapeutic targeting have emerged as focal points in oncology research; however, specific studies investigating autophagy in marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) pathogenesis remain limited. The present study comprehensively characterized the expression profiles of key autophagy-related proteins in MZL, providing novel mechanistic insights and an experimental rationale for therapeutic intervention. Immunohistochemical analysis assessed the expression of Beclin-1, light chain (LC)3, sequestosome (SQSTM)1/p62 and Bcl-2 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 16 patients with MZL compared with 16 reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) controls. MZL specimens exhibited significant autophagy pathway dysregulation, characterized by ~35-40% decreased expression of Beclin-1 and LC3 and 30-45% increased expression of SQSTM1/p62 and Bcl-2 compared with RLH tissues (P<0.05 for all proteins analyzed). The present findings delineate a distinct profile of autophagy dysfunction in MZL, highlighting aberrant Beclin-1, LC3, SQSTM1/p62 and Bcl-2 expression as potential disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study provides a critical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying MZL pathogenesis and underscores the therapeutic potential of modulating autophagy-related pathways.
