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

backgroundThe drug-resistance and relapse of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which are related to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have become increasingly common. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

methodsCCK 8 assay, colony formation assay, and xenograft mouse model were used to investigate the effects of hBMSCs on DLBCL growth. Immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, and ELISA were used to study the expressions of IL-6 and IL-17A. Flow cytometry was used to analyze Th17 cells and Treg cells expressions. Western blot analysis, microarray analysis, and bioinformatics analysis were used to analyze the pathways of IL-6 or IL-17A mediated DLBCL growth.

resultsHBMSCs promoted DLBCL growth by secreting IL-6 in vitro and in vivo and simultaneously upregulating IL-17A in vitro. IL-6 and IL-17A synergistically promoted the growth and drug-resistance of DLBCL cells by protecting them from spontaneous or drug-induced apoptosis in vitro. IL-6 or IL-17A activated the JAK2/STAT3 pathway or upregulated cyclin D2 via activation of PI3K/Akt signaling in vitro, respectively.

conclusionsThe present results indicated that hBMSCs might have a "dual effect" on promoting DLBCL progression and drug-resistance by secreting IL-6 and upregulating IL-17A. IL-6, IL-17A, p-STAT3, p-Akt or cyclin D2 may be potential molecular targets for overcoming drug-resistance in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.
