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 BCL-6 transcriptional repressor protein is a critical regulator of normal B cell differentiation and BCL-6 has recently been shown to act as an oncogene in several mouse model systems. The molecular pathways by which BCL-6 regulates B cell differentiation and also promotes the transformation of primary B cells are undoubtedly related; however, these pathways are poorly understood. The commonly accepted model for BCL-6 function in B cells is that BCL-6 inhibits the terminal differentiation of activated B cells into plasma cells and that deregulation of BCL-6 expression leads to an inhibition of terminal differentiation and continued proliferation. BCL-6 induces a germinal-center phenotype in primary B cells by unknown mechanisms, and can reverse the terminal differentiation of plasma cell tumor lines. BCL-6 can promote the immortalization of primary B cells and can augment telomerase activity. The role of the vast majority of BCL-6 target genes and interacting proteins in normal B cell differentiation and B cell transformation is essentially unresolved and is an important area for future investigation.
