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

The BCL6 gene is often structurally altered and probably 'misregulated' in two different types of human B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (BNHL) thought to arise from germinal centre B cells. BCL6 encodes a BTB/POZ and zinc finger protein whose biochemical properties support a role as a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor and disclose, in part, the underlying mechanisms. In contrast, the study of the 'oncogenic' structural alterations of BCL6 in BNHL and of its cellular functions gives rise to much more heterogeneous data with no obvious unifying picture so that how and even whether BCL6 contributes to lymphomagenesis remains unclear. This review will summarize the current knowledge about the 'oncogenic' alterations and cellular functions of BCL6 and, based on some results, will propose the following hypotheses: (1) In various systems, including in memory T cells and also in germinal centre B cells and possibly in certain postmitotic cells, BCL6 may act by stabilizing a particular stage of differentiation. (2) Both its ambivalent effects on cell survival and the heterogeneous consequences of its alterations in BNHL suggest that BCL6 can be oncogenic not only upon overexpression or persistent expression, as often proposed, but also, similar to some of its relatives, upon 'accidental' downregulation.
