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

Introduction: Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is an indolent yet incurable B-cell malignancy in which targeted agents such as BTK and PI3K inhibitors frequently fail due to resistance or toxicity. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), evolutionarily conserved effectors of innate immunity, possess selective cytotoxicity against malignant cells by exploiting tumor-specific membrane alterations. Methods: Peptides were synthesized and tested for their anti-proliferative activity in MZL cell lines. Results: We evaluated the antitumor activity of seven natural AMPs, including Antarctic fish-derived trematocines and chionodracine variants, and amphibian temporins, against MZL cell lines (VL51, Karpas1718) and derivatives resistant to BTK, PI3Kδ, or PI3Kα/δ inhibitors. Among them, W-trematocine and temporin L demonstrated potent dose-dependent cytotoxicity with IC Conclusion: Our findings highlight natural AMPs as promising candidates for development in drug-resistant MZL, warranting further optimization and preclinical validation.
