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
Introduction: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous and highly aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Approximately 30% of patients develop relapsed or refractory PTCL (R/R PTCL) due to disease recurrence or failure to achieve complete remission after first-line therapy. Despite therapeutic advances, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying treatment resistance in R/R PTCL remain unclear. Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell T-cell receptor sequencing were performed on seven tumor samples from six patients with R/R PTCL. These approaches were used to systematically characterize the transcriptional profiles of malignant T-cell clones and reactive T lymphocytes, define the transcriptomic landscape of R/R PTCL, and identify potential epigenetic biomarkers associated with drug response. Results: We observed significant upregulation of genes associated with cell proliferation, oncogenic signaling, and immune modulation in R/R PTCL. Within the tumor microenvironment, specific protumorigenic ligand-receptor interactions were identified, including CXCL13-CXCR5, CCL5-CCR5, and CD74-MIF interactions, which may facilitate immune evasion by malignant T cells. Longitudinal analysis of a patient who progressed following dual epigenetic therapy revealed marked downregulation of immune response-related genes, including HLA-DRA/DPA1/DRB5, CD74, C1QC, and LYZ, as well as functional reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages. Enhanced LGALS9-HAVCR2 and CSF1-CSF1R interactions were also observed following combination treatment with chidamide and azacitidine. Discussion: This study delineates the transcriptional heterogeneity of malignant T-cell clones in R/R PTCL and suggests that this heterogeneity may contribute to resistance to epigenetic therapies. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying treatment resistance and highlight potential avenues for therapeutic intervention in R/R PTCL.
