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

Impaired apoptosis is a cancer hallmark, and some types of lymphomas and other cancers harbor mutations that directly affect key cell death regulators, such as Bcl-2 family members. However, because the majority of tumors seem to lack such mutations, we are examining the hypothesis that tumorigenesis can be sustained at least initially by the normal expression of specific endogenous pro-survival Bcl-2 family members. We previously demonstrated that the lymphomagenesis in Εμ-myc transgenic mice, which constitutively overexpress the c-Myc oncoprotein in B-lymphoid cells and develop pre-B and B-cell lymphomas, does not require endogenous Bcl-2. In striking contrast, we report here that loss in these mice of its close relative Bcl-x(L) attenuated the pre-neoplastic expansion of pro-B and pre-B cells otherwise driven by c-Myc overexpression, sensitized these cells to apoptosis and ablated lymphoma formation. Remarkably, even loss of a single bcl-x allele delayed the lymphomagenesis. These findings identify Bcl-x(L) as a prerequisite for the emergence of c-Myc-driven pre-B/B lymphoma and suggest that BH3 mimetic drugs may provide a prophylactic strategy for c-Myc-driven tumors.
