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

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common and biologically heterogeneous subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. While immunochemotherapy has improved outcomes, survival remains variable due to substantial molecular diversity. In people living with HIV (PLWH), DLBCL is the predominant lymphoma subtype and demonstrates more aggressive clinical behaviour, characterised by advanced-stage disease, extranodal involvement, and a potentially poorer prognosis despite antiretroviral therapy. Clarifying differences in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated and HIV-unrelated DLBCL is essential for informing precision therapies. This narrative review highlights the contrasting pathogenic mechanisms, with an emphasis on the interplay between viral oncogenesis, host immunity, and molecular alterations in HIV-associated DLBCL versus DLBCL in immunocompetent individuals. Understanding these differences is critical for refining diagnostic approaches, improving risk stratification, and identifying novel therapeutic strategies tailored to both groups.
