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

IRF8 is a transcription factor with a critical role in B lymphocyte development and functions. Its role in human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however, remained elusive. In this study, using shRNA-mediated knockdown of IRF8 expression, we found that the loss of IRF8 significantly reduced the proliferation of DLBCL cells (P<0.05). Mechanistically, decreasing the levels of IRF8 led to a suppression of the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK, molecules critical for B cell proliferation. Furthermore, using a xenograft lymphoma mouse model, we found that the loss of IRF8 significantly inhibited the growth of lymphomas in vivo (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis of human DLBCL tissues revealed that the levels of IRF8 were significantly greater in non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) subtype than that in GCB subtype (P<0.05). Analysis of public available data also suggested that the expression levels of IRF8 mRNA in human DLBCL tissues were inversely correlated with patients' overall survival time. Taken together, this study suggested that IRF8 may play an oncogenic role in human DLBCL by promoting cell proliferation.
