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 clinical introduction of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib, which targets B-cell antigen-receptor (BCR)-controlled integrin-mediated retention of malignant B cells in their growth-supportive lymphoid organ microenvironment, provided a major breakthrough in lymphoma and leukemia treatment. Unfortunately, a significant subset of patients is intrinsically resistant or acquires resistance against ibrutinib. Here, to discover novel therapeutic targets, we present an unbiased loss-of-adhesion CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening method to identify proteins involved in BCR-controlled integrin-mediated adhesion. Illustrating the validity of our approach, several kinases with an established role in BCR-controlled adhesion, including BTK and PI3K, both targets for clinically applied inhibitors, are among the top hits of our screen. We anticipate that pharmacological inhibitors of the identified targets, e.g. PAK2 and PTK2B/PYK2, may have great clinical potential as therapy for lymphoma and leukemia patients. Furthermore, this screening platform is highly flexible and can be easily adapted to identify cell adhesion-regulatory proteins and signaling pathways for other stimuli, adhesion molecules, and cell types.
