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

In vitro CD40-stimulated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells are resistant to cytotoxic drugs. In sharp contrast, we here show that CD40 stimulation sensitizes CLL cells to rituximab-mediated cell death. This increased sensitivity is specific for anti-CD20 treatment. Rituximab-mediated death in CD40-stimulated CLL cells shows rapid kinetics (within hours), and is caspase and p53 independent, but depends on extracellular Ca(2+) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. By increasing basal ROS production, CD40 stimulation sensitizes CLL cells to rituximab-mediated death. Our findings provide a rationale for combination treatment of CLL with cytotoxic drugs and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies.
