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

Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV-positive) B-cell lymphomas are common in immunocompromised patients and remain an unmet medical need. Here we report that MDM2 inhibitors (MDM2is) navtemadlin and idasanutlin have potent in vivo activity in EBV-positive B-cell lymphoma established in immunocompromised mice. Tumor regression was observed in all 5 EBV-positive xenograft-associated B-cell lymphomas treated with navtemadlin or idasanutlin. Molecular characterization showed that treatment with MDM2is resulted in activation of p53 pathways and downregulation of cell cycle effectors in human lymphoma cell lines that were either EBV-positive or had undetectable expression of BCL6, a transcriptional inhibitor of the TP53 gene. Moreover, treatment with navtemadlin resulted in tumor regression and prevented systemic dissemination of EBV-positive lymphoma derived from 2 juvenile patients with posttransplant lymphoproliferative diseases, including 1 whose tumor was resistant to virus-specific T-cell therapy. These results provide proof-of-concept for targeted therapy of EBV-positive lymphoma with MDM2is and the feasibility of using EBV infection or loss of BCL6 expression to identify responders to MDM2is.
