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 clinical success of B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway inhibitors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is attributed to inhibition of adhesion in and migration towards the lymph node. Proliferation of CLL cells is restricted to this protective niche, but the underlying mechanism(s) is/are not known. Treatment with BCR pathway inhibitors results in rapid reductions of total clone size, while CLL cell survival is not affected, which points towards inhibition of proliferation. In vitro, BCR stimulation does not induce proliferation of CLL, but triggering via Toll-like receptor, tumor necrosis factor or cytokine receptors does. Here, we investigated the effects of clinically applied inhibitors that target BCR signaling, in the context of proliferation triggered either via CD40L/IL-21 or after CpG stimulation. CD40L/IL-21-induced proliferation could be inhibited by idelalisib and ibrutinib. We demonstrate this was due to blockade of CD40L-induced ERK-signaling. Targeting JAKs, but not SYK, blocked CD40L/IL-21-induced proliferation. In contrast, PI3K, BTK as well as SYK inhibition prevented CpG-induced proliferation. Knockdown experiments showed that CD40L/IL-21 did not co-opt upstream BCR components such as CD79A, in contrast to CpG-induced proliferation. Our data indicate that currently applied BTK/PI3K inhibitors target antigen-independent proliferation in CLL, and suggest that targeting of JAK and/or SYK might be clinically useful.
