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

Deregulated expression of BCL6 is a pathogenic event in many lymphomas. BCL6 blocks cellular differentiation by repressing transcription of its target genes, and this may promote tumorigenesis. Conversely, the transcription factor signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)5 promotes differentiation in many systems. STAT5 upregulates a number of genes repressed by BCL6, raising the possibility that STAT5 and BCL6 have opposing roles in transcriptional regulation. Therefore, we sought to determine the effects of STAT5 activation on BCL6 expression and function. We found that activation of STAT5 downregulates BCL6 expression in B-lymphoma cells and other hematopoietic cell lines. We identified two potential STAT-binding regions in the first exon and first intron of BCL6 that fell within regions of high inter-species homology, suggesting conservation of regulatory function. STAT5 can bind inducibly and regulate transcription at one of these regions, identifying BCL6 as a STAT5 target gene. Additionally, STAT5-mediated downregulation of BCL6 results in loss of BCL6 repression of its target genes, confirming that STAT5 is a negative regulator of BCL6 function. The STAT5 responsive region of the BCL6 gene is mutated frequently in B-cell lymphomas, suggesting that loss of the repressive effects of STAT5 on BCL6 might contribute to the pathogenesis of these cancers.
