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

Tumor cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are more prone to apoptosis when cultured ex vivo, because they lack prosurvival signals furnished in vivo via B-cell receptor (BCR)-dependent and -independent pathways. This study compared the susceptibility of unmutated (UM) and mutated (M) CLL B cells to spontaneous apoptosis and prosurvival signals. UM CLL B cells showed a significantly higher rate of spontaneous apoptosis than M CLL B cells. Nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) was rapidly inactivated, and B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression progressively down-regulated in the UM CLL B cells. CD40-Ligand, interleukin-4 and stromal cells significantly improved their viability and partially recovered Bcl-2, but not NF-kB expression. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells also offered protection of UM CLL B cells, and recovered both NF-kB and Bcl-2 expression. T cells, rather than nurse-like cells, were responsible for protecting UM CLL B cells by means of cell-to-cell contact and soluble factors. Despite their more aggressive features, UM CLL B cells are more susceptible to spontaneous apoptosis and depend from environmental prosurvival signals. This vulnerability of UM CLL B cells can be exploited as a selective target of therapeutic interventions.
