Epstein-Barr Virus Orchestrates Spatial Reorganization and Immunomodulation within the Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma Tumor Microenvironment.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) is a tumor composed of rare malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells nested within a T-cell rich inflammatory immune infiltrate. cHL is associated with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) in 25% of cases. The specific contributions of EBV to the pathogenesis of cHL remain largely unknown, in part due to technical barriers in dissecting the tumor microenvironment (TME) in high detail. Herein, we applied multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) spatial pro-teomics on 6 EBV-positive and 14 EBV-negative cHL samples. We identify key TME features that distinguish between EBV-positive and EBV-negative cHL, including the relative predominance of memory CD8 T cells and increased T-cell dysfunction as a function of spatial proximity to HRS cells. Building upon a larger multi-institutional cohort of 22 EBV-positive and 24 EBV-negative cHL samples, we orthogonally validated our findings through a spatial multi-omics approach, coupling whole transcriptome capture with antibody-defined cell types for tu-mor and T-cell populations within the cHL TME. We delineate contrasting transcriptomic immunological signatures between EBV-positive and EBV-negative cases that differently impact HRS cell proliferation, tumor-immune interactions, and mecha-nisms of T-cell dysregulation and dysfunction. Our multi-modal framework enabled a comprehensive dissection of EBV-linked reorganization and immune evasion within the cHL TME, and highlighted the need to elucidate the cellular and molecular fac-tors of virus-associated tumors, with potential for targeted therapeutic strategies.
