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

The heterogeneity of cancers is driven by diverse mechanisms underlying oncogenesis such as differential 'cell-of-origin' progenitors, mutagenesis, and viral infections. Classification of B cell lymphomas has been defined by considering these characteristics. However, the expression and contribution of endogenous retroelements (EREs) to B cell lymphoma oncogenesis or classification have been overlooked. We hypothesized that incorporating ERE expression signatures would increase the resolution of B cell identity during healthy and malignant conditions. Here, we present the first comprehensive, locus-specific characterization of ERE expression in benign germinal center B cells, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive and EBV-negative Burkitt lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma. Our findings demonstrate unique human ERE signatures in the GC and lymphoma subtypes whose activity can be used in combination with gene expression to define B cell lineage in lymphoid malignancies, highlighting the potential of ERE analyses as a tool in lymphoma classification, diagnosis, and the identification of treatment groups.
