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

Dysregulation of amino acid metabolism is recognized to have a substantial influence on tumorigenesis and the modulation of tumor microenvironment. However, the role of amino acid metabolism-related genes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains undefined. Therefore, we aimed to explore the influence of amino acid metabolism-related genes in DLBCL using bioinformatics approaches. Consensus clustering demonstrated that the reprogramming of amino acid metabolism has prognostic value in DLBCL. Subsequently, we developed a risk model using LASSO-Cox regression analysis to accurately predict DLBCL prognosis and identified kynureninase (KYNU) as a potentially valuable biomarker. Analysis of immune infiltration was conducted to examine the correlation between risk scores and immune profiles. Furthermore, RT-qPCR showed that the KYNU mRNA levels were upregulated in OCI-LY1, OCI-LY3, and OCI-LY10 DLBCL cells compared with normal CD19+B lymphocytes. Cell proliferation assays and flow cytometry analysis showed that inhibition of KYNU expression reduced cell proliferation and induced apoptosis of DLBCL cells. Overall, we demonstrated the significant impact of amino acid metabolism on DLBCL. Our findings may help improve the assessment of disease prognosis and provide potential therapeutic strategies for DLBCL.
