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

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are associated with an increased risk of B-cell lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma (FL). Chronic HBV infection and shifts in infection status following treatment can influence lymphomagenesis and immune reprogramming, potentially affecting clinical outcomes. Using the CosMx Spatial Molecular Imaging, after integrated with dynamic HBV infection states and duration of overt infection, this refines four recurrent patterns, especially memory B cell-like malignant cells (MBLM) subtype (PTPRCAP + ) that is traced with atypical features and latent indolence, and virus protein transport-related follicular dendritic cell (FDC) which shows interplay with MBLM. Except for virus-induced immune exhaustion, distinct contributions to POD24 occurrence from malignant cells and immunosuppressive cell communities under distinct HBV infection states are discerned such as through CCL21/CCR7 signaling pathway. Taken together, our spatial multicellular dynamics reveal an increased prevalence of MBLM and variable FDC phenotypes which is associated with POD24 occurrence in HBV-related FL tumors.
