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

As many oncogenic changes, such as Myc overexpression, promote apoptosis, the survival of emerging neoplastic clones may often initially depend upon endogenous levels of particular pro-survival members of the Bcl-2 protein family. Pertinently, we recently showed that in lymphoma-prone Eμ-myc transgenic mice, which overexpress Myc in all B-lymphoid cells, endogenous Bcl-x(L) is critical for the survival, as well as the expansion of preneoplastic B-lymphoid cells and the development of malignant disease. This discovery raised the possibility that pharmacological blockade of Bcl-x(L) might impede Myc-driven lymphoma development. Indeed, we report here that treatment of preleukaemic Eμ-myc transgenic mice with the Bcl-2 homology (BH)3 mimetic drug ABT-737, which inhibits Bcl-x(L), as well as Bcl-2 and Bcl-w, augmented apoptosis of preneoplastic B-lymphoid cells, reduced their numbers and greatly prolonged lymphoma-free survival. These findings reveal that BH3 mimetic drugs may provide a prophylactic strategy to prevent the development of certain tumours, particularly those driven by deregulated Myc expression. Moreover, such treatment may help in the management of patients with hereditary cancer syndromes and perhaps also in the prevention of tumour relapses.
