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

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), and follicular lymphoma (FL), predominantly arise from B cells undergoing germinal center (GC) reactions. The transcriptional repressor B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is indispensable for GC formation and contributes to lymphomagenesis via its BTB domain-mediated suppression of target genes. Dysregulation of BCL6 underpins the pathogenesis of GC-derived NHL. While pharmacological targeting the BCL6-BTB domain has shown therapeutic promise, natural product-based inhibitors remain underexplored. In this study, resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound derived from grapes, was identified as a potent BCL6 inhibitor through a comprehensive screen of traditional Chinese medicine monomers using Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay. As a BCL6 natural inhibitor, resveratrol effectively disrupted the BCL6/SMRT interaction, reactivated suppressed gene expression, and inhibited the proliferation of GC-derived NHL cells. It also exhibited synergistic efficacy when combined with EZH2 and PRMT5 inhibitors. In vivo, resveratrol suppressed GC formation, reduced follicular helper T-cell frequencies, impaired class-switch recombination, and disrupted immunoglobulin affinity maturation. Furthermore, it markedly inhibited the progression of GC-derived NHL in animal models. Our findings demonstrate that resveratrol functions as a natural BCL6 inhibitor with significant therapeutic potential for the treatment of GC-derived NHL.
