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

The B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) transcriptional repressor is a master regulator of the germinal center (GC) B cell program, required for their unique proliferative and stress tolerant phenotype. Most B cell lymphomas arise from GC B cells and are dependent on the continued or deregulated expression of BCL6 to maintain their survival. The actions of BCL6 in B cells involve formation of distinct chromatin modifying complexes that silence specific promoter and enhancer networks, respectively. The same biochemical mechanisms are maintained in malignant lymphoma cells. Targeted inhibition of these BCL6 functions has emerged as the basis for rational design of lymphoma therapies and combinatorial regimens. In this review, we summarize recent advances on BCL6 mechanisms of action and the deregulation of its target gene networks in lymphoma.
