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

backgroundDouble-hit or Triple-hit lymphoma (DHL/THL) is a subset of high-grade B cell lymphoma harboring rearrangements of MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6, and usually associate with aggressive profile, while current therapies tend to provide poor clinical outcomes and eventually relapsed. Further explorations of DHL at cellular and molecular levels are in demand to offer guidance for clinical activity.

methodsWe collected the peripheral blood of DHL patients and diffused large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients from single institute and converted them into PBMC samples. Mass cytometry was then performed to characterize these samples by 42 antibody markers with samples of healthy people as control. We divided the immune cell subtypes based on the expression profile of surface antigens, and the proportion of each cell subtype was also analyzed. By comparing the data of the DLBCL group and the healthy group, we figured out the distinguished immune cell subtypes of DHL patients according to their abundance and marker expression level. We further analyzed the heterogeneity of DHL samples by pairwise comparison based on clinical characteristics.

resultsWe found double-positive T cells (DPT) cells were in a significantly high percentage in DHL patients, whereas the ratio of double-negative T cells (DNT) was largely reduced in patients. Besides, CD38 was uniquely expressed at a high level on some naïve B cells of DHL patients, which could be a marker for the diagnosis of DHL (distinguishing from DLBCL), or even be a drug target for the treatment of DHL. In addition, we illustrated the heterogeneity of DHL patients in terms of immune cell landscape, and highlighted TP53 as a major factor that contributes to the heterogeneity of the T cells profile.

conclusionOur study demonstrated the distinct peripheral immune cell profile of DHL patients by contrast to DLBCL patients and healthy people, as well as the heterogeneity within the DHL group, which could provide valuable guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of DHL.
