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

Germinal center (GC)-derived lymphomas arise within a specialized immune ecosystem, yet whether malignant cells direct its remodeling remains unclear. Integrating genomic, transcriptomic, spatial, and functional analyses across follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, we define a developmental framework linking malignant B-cell differentiation state to tumor microenvironment (TME) organization. Rather than segregating by histology, lymphomas align along a shared differentiation continuum in which proliferative dark zone (DZ) states associate with immune-depleted TMEs, whereas post-GC/memory B-cell (MBC) states drive inflamed but immunosuppressed TMEs. Spatial profiling reveals collapse of GC architecture and emergence of suppressive myeloid niches along this trajectory. Single-cell lineage reconstruction uncovers a DZ-to-MBC developmental axis underlying lymphoma evolution. Genetic reprogramming
