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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive and common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Despite the availability of several risk stratification tools, substantial room for improvement in personalized prognostic prediction still exists. Furthermore, considering the heterogeneity of DLBCL, how to select an appropriate treatment in a personalized manner remains a clinical challenge. In this study, we developed a random survival forests model by integrating clinical and gene expression data from 677 DLBCL case in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Our model predicted overall survival with high concordance between training and validation datasets (C-index: 0.832 and 0.758, respectively), outperforming the consistency predicted by common prognostic markers such as Cell-Of-Origin Subtype, IPI score and Ann Arbor stage. Time-dependent ROC curves also showed good predictive performance for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival in training and validation cohorts, the models are accessible via an open-access website. Survival analysis demonstrated that the group receiving the optimal treatment showed a more favorable survival association. Furthermore, we also used Kaplan-Meier curves, multivariate analysis and penalized Cox regression model to identify six genes (C2CD5, CD163, JADE3, BIRC3, TMEM200A, and LINC00877) related to the prognosis of DLBCL. In conclusion, we developed a machine learning model integrating clinical characteristics and gene expression profiles, providing a reliable decision-support tool for DLBCL prognosis and treatment selection.
