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

We investigated the clinicopathologic features of 5 follicular lymphomas (FLs) that transformed (tFL) morphologically to diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) and had a primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL)-like gene expression profile (tFL-PMBLsig-pos). None of the tFL-PMBLsig-pos cases arose in the mediastinum, all cases tested had a germinal center B-cell phenotype, 20% were CD30+, 60% CD23+, 80% MAL+, 20% CD200+, and 0% CD273/PDL2+. Whole-exome sequencing detected alterations in genes associated with both FL/DLBCL (CREBBP, KMT2C, KMT2D, ARID1A, HIST1 members, and TNFRSF14) and PMBL (JAK-STAT pathway genes, B2M, and CD58). Copy number (CN) analysis detected gains/amplification of REL and STAT6 in 60%, gains of SOCS1 in 40%, and gains of chromosome 16, including IL4R, in 40% of the cases. CN gains/amplification of BCL6 and MYC and loss of TNFRSF14 and TNFAIP3 were identified in 20% of the cases. Three of 5 cases lacked a BCL2 rearrangement. Despite having some features that are less common in DLBCL (MAL and CD23 expression and JAK-STAT activation), these tFL-PMBLsig-pos cases lack the most characteristic CN alteration seen in PMBL (9p24.1 gain/amplification). This cohort expands the biologic heterogeneity of tFL, illustrating a subset with gene expression and some genetic features reminiscent of PMBL, with potential treatment implications that include the use of novel targeted therapies.
