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

Dysregulation of the histone methyltransferase EZH2 plays a critical role in the development of a variety of malignancies including B-cell lymphomas. As a result, a series of small molecule inhibitors of EZH2 have been developed and studied in the pre-clinical setting. Three EZH2 inhibitors: tazemetostat (EPZ-6438), GSK2816126 and CPI-1205 have moved into phase I/phase II clinical trials in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and genetically defined solid tumors. Early data from the tazemetostat trials indicate an acceptable safety profile and early signs of activity in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, including patients with EZH2 wild-type and mutant tumors. In this review, we present the rationale, key pre-clinical and early clinical findings of small molecule EZH2 inhibitors for use in lymphoma as well as future challenges and potential opportunities for combination therapies.
