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

Most adult B cell lymphomas originate from germinal center (GC) B cells, but it is unclear to what extent B cells in overt lymphoma retain the functional dynamics of GC B cells or are blocked at a particular stage of the GC reaction. Here we used integrative single-cell analysis of phenotype, gene expression and variable-region sequence of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus to track the characteristic human GC B cell program in follicular lymphoma B cells. By modeling the cyclic continuum of GC B cell transitional states, we identified characteristic patterns of synchronously expressed gene clusters. GC-specific gene-expression synchrony was lost in single lymphoma B cells. However, distinct follicular lymphoma-specific cell states co-existed within single patient biopsies. Our data show that lymphoma B cells are not blocked in a GC B cell state but might adopt new dynamic modes of functional diversity, which opens the possibility of novel definitions of lymphoma identity.
