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

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a member of the Tec family of protein tyrosine kinases involved in B cell development and proliferation in neoplastic human lymphoid tissues. We used immunohistochemistry to evaluate a polyclonal anti-Btk antibody on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. The tested samples included normal lymphoid tissues, tissue samples of 395 different lymphomas and 14 malignant lymphoid cell lines. Btk was expressed more often in B cell lymphomas than in T cell lymphomas. This correlated well with the results obtained on B cell lymphoma cell lines, which strongly expressed Btk, in contrast to T cell lymphoma cell lines. More than 60% of myelomas expressed Btk. Among Hodgkin lymphomas, the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant was more often positive (14/16) than the classical variant (6/27). Only one out of three Hodgkin lymphoma-derived cell lines showed a few atypical large cells expressing Btk. Btk represents a useful marker to identify B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Furthermore, Btk might help to distinguish the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant of Hodgkin lymphomas from the classical form. Finally, in view of the recently discovered therapeutic potential of Btk inhibitors in lymphoma, we report the pattern of expression of Btk in a large collection of different types of lymphoma.
