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

About half of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) do not respond to or relapse soon after the standard chemotherapy, indicating a critical need to better understand the specific pathways perturbed in DLBCL for developing effective therapeutic approaches. Mice deficient in the E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf2 spontaneously develop B-cell lymphomas that resemble human DLBCL with molecular features of germinal centre or post-germinal centre B cells. Here we show that Smurf2 mediates ubiquitination and degradation of YY1, a key germinal centre transcription factor. Smurf2 deficiency enhances YY1-mediated transactivation of c-Myc and B-cell proliferation. Furthermore, Smurf2 expression is significantly decreased in primary human DLBCL samples, and low levels of Smurf2 expression correlate with inferior survival in DLBCL patients. The Smurf2-YY1-c-Myc regulatory axis represents a novel pathway perturbed in DLBCL that suppresses B-cell proliferation and lymphomagenesis, suggesting pharmaceutical targeting of Smurf2 as a new therapeutic paradigm for DLBCL.
