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

Despite recent advances, non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma patients often relapse or remain refractory to therapy. Therapeutic resistance is often associated with survival signaling via nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcription factor, an attractive but undruggable molecular target. In this study, we describe a bipartite inhibitor comprising a NF-κB-specific decoy DNA tethered to a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) targeting Toll-like receptor-9-expressing B cell lymphoma cells. The Bc-NFκBdODN showed efficient uptake by human diffuse large B cell (U2932, OCI-Ly3), Burkitt (RaJi), and mantle cell (Jeko1) lymphomas, respectively. We confirmed that Bc-NFκBdODN inhibited NF-κB nuclear translocation and DNA binding, resulting in CCND2 and MYC downregulation. Bc-NFκBdODN enhanced radiosensitivity of lymphoma cells in vitro. In xenotransplanted human lymphoma, local injections of Bc-NFκBdODN reduced NF-κB activity in whole tumors. When combined with a local 3-Gy dose of radiation, Bc-NFκBdODN effectively arrested OCI-Ly3 lymphoma progression. In immunocompetent mice, intratumoral injections of Bc-NFκBdODN suppressed growth of directly treated and distant A20 lymphomas, as a result of systemic CD8 T cell-dependent immune responses. Finally, systemic administration of Bc-NFκBdODN to mice bearing disseminated A20 lymphoma induced complete regression and extended survival of most of the treated mice. Our results underscore clinical relevance of this strategy as monotherapy and in support of radiation therapy to benefit patients with resistant or relapsed B cell lymphoma.
