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

backgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous malignancy with variable outcomes. Identification of reliable biomarkers is critical for risk assessment and targeted therapy.

methodsWe conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to systematically evaluate the causal effects of 4907 plasma proteins on DLBCL. Transcriptomic data were integrated to screen proteins with transcriptional relevance. Bayesian co-localization and reverse MR analyses were applied to assess shared genetic variants and causal direction. Survival analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic significance of the identified biomarkers across independent cohorts.

resultsFifty-two plasma proteins were identified as risk factors for DLBCL, of which six (GOLM1, ISOC1, MTHFD1, PPIL1, RACGAP1, and WDR5) demonstrated robust associations at both protein and transcriptional levels. No evidence of reverse causality was observed, and co-localization analyses did not support shared causal variants. Among the six biomarkers, MTHFD1, PPIL1, and WDR5 showed consistent associations with poor prognosis across cohorts.

conclusionThis study identified novel biomarkers at both protein and transcriptional levels, offering valuable insights for risk assessment and early prognosis prediction in DLBCL.
