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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a risk factor for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While prior research has suggested a potential correlation between SLE and DLBCL, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore the contribution of EBV infection to the pathogenesis of DLBCL in the individuals with SLE using bioinformatics approaches. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to compile the gene expression profiles of EBV-infected B cells (GSE49628), SLE (GSE61635), and DLBCL (GSE32018). Altogether, 72 shared common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were extracted and enrichment analysis of the shared genes showed that p53 signaling pathway was a common feature of the pathophysiology. Six hub genes were selected using protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, including CDK1, KIF23, NEK2, TOP2A, NEIL3 and DEPDC1, which showed preferable diagnostic values for SLE and DLBCL and involved in immune cell infiltration and immune responses regulation. Finally, TF-gene and miRNA-gene regulatory networks and 10 potential drugs molecule were predicted. Our study revealed the potential molecular mechanisms by which EBV infection contribute to the susceptibility of DLBCL in SLE patients for the first time and identified future biomarkers and therapeutic targets for SLE and DLBCL.
