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 sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor S1PR2 and its downstream adaptor Gα13 are recurrently mutationally inactivated in the germinal center B-cell subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and are silenced by the S1PR2 repressor FOXP1 in the activated B-cell like subtype of the disease. Loss of S1PR2 signaling relieves the germinal center confinement that is maintained by an S1P gradient and allows cells to resist S1P-induced apoptosis. We have shown previously that S1PR2 expression is induced in normal B cells through a newly described transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/TGF-βRII/SMAD1 signaling axis that is inactivated in >85% of DLBCL patients. DLBCL cell lines lacking S1PR2, TGFBRII, or SMAD1 as the result of genomic editing all have a strong growth advantage in vitro, as well as in subcutaneous and orthotopic xenotransplantation models. Here, we show that the TGF-β signaling pathway in DLBCL is blocked at the level of SMAD1 in DLBCL cell lines and patient samples by hypermethylation of CpG-rich regions surrounding the SMAD1 transcription start site. The pharmacologic restoration of SMAD1 expression by the demethylating agent decitabine (DAC) sensitizes cells to TGF-β-induced apoptosis and reverses the growth of initially SMAD1- cell lines in ectopic and orthotopic models. This effect of DAC is reduced in a SMAD1-knockout cell line. We further show that DAC restores SMAD1 expression and reduces the tumor burden in a novel patient-derived orthotopic xenograft model. The combined data lend further support to the concept of an altered epigenome as a major driver of DLBCL pathogenesis.
