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

Transcription factors play a central role in malignant transformation by activating or repressing waves of downstream target genes. Therapeutic targeting of transcription factors can reprogram cancer cells to lose their advantages in growth and survival. The BCL6 transcriptional repressor plays a central role in the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) and controls downstream checkpoints, including the p53 tumor suppressor gene. We report that a specific inhibitor of BCL6 called BPI can trigger a p53 response in DLBCL cells. This was partially due to induction of p53 activity and partially due to relief of direct repression by BCL6 of p53 target genes. BPI could thus induce a p53-like response even in the presence of mutant p53. Moreover, sequential BCL6 peptide inhibitors followed by p53 peptide or small-molecule activators provided a more powerful antilymphoma effect than either treatment alone by maximally restoring p53 target gene expression. Therefore, tandem targeting of the overlapping BCL6 and p53 transcriptional programs can correct aberrant survival pathways in DLBCL and might provide an effective therapeutic approach to lymphoma therapy.
