Review in Blood cancer journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Genetic studies of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) in humans have revealed numerous targets of somatic mutations and an increasing number of potentially relevant germline alterations. The latter often affect genes involved in DNA repair and/or immune function. In general, defects in these genes also predispose to other conditions. Knowledge of these mutations can lead to disease-preventing measures in the patient and relatives thereof. Conceivably, these germline mutations will be taken into account in future therapy of the lymphoma. In other hematological malignancies, mutations originally found as somatic aberrations have also been shown to confer predisposition to these diseases, when occurring in the germline. Further interrogations of the genome in DLBCL patients are therefore expected to reveal additional hereditary predisposition genes. Our review shows that germline mutations have already been described in over one-third of the genes that are somatically mutated in DLBCL. Whether such germline mutations predispose carriers to DLBCL is an open question. Symptoms of the inherited syndromes associated with these genes range from anatomical malformations to intellectual disability, immunodeficiencies and malignancies other than DLBCL. Inherited or de novo alterations in protein-coding and non-coding genes are envisioned to underlie this lymphoma.
