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

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is the most frequent B-cell lymphoma in pediatric patients. While most patients are cured, a fraction of them are resistant to therapy. To investigate BL heterogeneity and the features distinguishing therapy responders (R) from non-responders (NR), we analyzed by single-cell (sc)-transcriptomics diagnostic EBV-negative BL specimens. Analysis of the non-tumor component revealed a predominance of immune cells and a small representation of fibroblasts, enriched in NR. Tumors displayed patient-specific features, as well as shared subpopulations that expressed transcripts related to cell cycle, signaling pathways and cell-of-origin signatures. Several transcripts were differentially expressed in R versus NR. The top candidate, Tropomyosin 2 (TPM2), a member of the tropomyosin actin filament binding protein family, was confirmed to be significantly higher in NR both at the transcript and protein level. Stratification of patients based on TPM2 expression at diagnosis significantly correlated with prognosis, independently of TP53 mutations. These results indicate that BL displays transcriptional heterogeneity and identify candidate biomarkers of therapy resistance.
