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 motile characteristics and mechanisms that drive the dissemination of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are elusive. Here, we show that DLBCL initiates dissemination through activating STAT3-mediated amoeboid migration. Mechanistically, STAT3 activates RHOH transcription, which competes with the RhoGDP dissociation inhibitor RhoGDIγ to activate RhoA. In addition, activated STAT3 regulates microtubule dynamics and releases ARHGEF2 to activate RhoA. Both the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib and the microtubule stabilizer Taxol suppress DLBCL cell dissemination in vivo. A clinical DLBCL sample analysis shows that STAT3-driven amoeboid movement is particularly important for the transition from stage I to stage II. This study elucidates the mechanism of DLBCL dissemination and progression and highlights the potential of combating advanced DLBCL with a JAK/STAT inhibitor or microtubule stabilizer to reduce DLBCL motility; these findings may have a great impact on the development of patient-tailored treatments for DLBCL.
