Follicular Lymphoma Transformation is Characterized by Cytokine-associated Remodeling of Stromal and Macrophage Compartments.
Article in Cancer discovery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Across cancer, one of the most frequent examples of histologic transformation is the evolution of follicular lymphoma (FL) to an aggressive large cell lymphoma. Despite recent progress, understanding of the molecular and cellular underpinnings of transformation remains incomplete. Here, we dissect the interplay of tumor and microenvironment cell populations across transformation through a multimodal investigation of 95 FL and transformed FL (tFL) samples, including single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing alongside spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, and validate findings across independent FL-tFL pairs. Upon transformation, fibroblasts and GPNMB+ macrophages increase while lymph-node organizing follicular dendritic and CCL21+ fibroblastic reticular cells were lost, resulting in an altered spatial distribution of cytokines that impacts T cell infiltration and macrophage differentiation and function. Secreted stromal and macrophage signals were further evident by non-invasive plasma proteomics. Taken together, our data reveal expansion of macrophages and fibroblasts as key features of transformation with potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
