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

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment for patients with refractory lymphomas. Nucleoside analogs (NAs) and DNA alkylating agents are efficacious in treating hematologic malignancies. To design an efficacious and more economical pretransplant regimen for lymphoma patients, we analyzed the cytotoxicity of cladribine (Clad), gemcitabine (Gem), busulfan (Bu), and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) in lymphoma cell lines. J45.01 and U937 lymphoma cell lines were exposed to drugs, alone or in combination, for 48 hours and analyzed with the MTT and annexin V assays, Western blotting, and flow cytometry. On the basis of the IC5-10 values of the drugs, the Clad+Gem+Bu combination inhibited the proliferation of both cell lines to ∼55%-60%. Addition of SAHA to this combination decreased proliferation further to ∼30%. Exposure to the Clad+Gem+Bu+SAHA combination activated the DNA damage response and ATM-CHK2 pathway; modified histones; decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, which caused leakage of apoptosis-inducing factors; and activated apoptosis. Pretreatment of cells with the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK blocked the phosphorylation of histone 2AX and cleavage of PARP-1 and caspases. The Clad+Gem+Bu+SAHA combination provides synergistic cytotoxicity in lymphoma cell lines. Our results may be a basis for using this combination as a pretransplant conditioning regimen in a clinical trial for lymphoma patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, replacing the more expensive nucleoside analog clofarabine.
