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

Netrin-1 and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) are currently being evaluated as therapeutic targets in oncology. However, studies investigating their expression in mature human lymphoid malignancies are sparse. This study aimed to investigate the expression of BCMA and Netrin-1 in a large cohort of lymphomas to determine their potential role as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. BCMA and Netrin-1 expression was investigated comprehensively using immunohistochemistry in a cohort that included 261 B-cell lymphomas, 45 T-cell lymphomas, and 55 classical Hodgkin lymphomas. Netrin-1 displayed a cytoplasmic staining pattern in plasmablastic lymphomas (27/28, 96%) and classical Hodgkin lymphomas (8/55, 15%). BCMA displayed cytoplasmic staining in most plasmablastic lymphomas (17/20, 85%). Among mature B-cell lymphomas, Netrin-1 and BCMA displayed sensitive (96% and 85%, respectively) and specific (100% and 95%, respectively) staining in plasmablastic lymphomas. These results suggest that these proteins may help pathologists in complex diagnoses and reinforce the interest in developing clinical trials assessing Netrin-1 or BCMA-targeted therapies in plasmablastic lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphomas, for which our therapeutic arsenal is weak.
