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

Siglec-6 is a lectin receptor with restricted expression in the placenta, mast cells and memory B-cells. Although Siglec-6 is expressed in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), its pathophysiological role has not been elucidated. We describe here a role for Siglec-6 in migration and adhesion of CLL B cells to CLL- bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro and compromised migration to bone marrow and spleen in vivo. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed interaction of Siglec-6 with DOCK8, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Stimulation of MEC1-002 CLL cells with a Siglec-6 ligand, sTn, results in Cdc42 activation, WASP protein recruitment and F-actin polymerization, which are all associated with cell migration. Therapeutically, a Siglec-6/CD3-bispecific T-cell-recruiting antibody (T-biAb) improves overall survival in an immunocompetent mouse model and eliminates CLL cells in a patient derived xenograft model. Our findings thus reveal a migratory role for Siglec-6 in CLL, which can be therapeutically targeted using a Siglec-6 specific T-biAb.
