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

backgroundB-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) constitutes the majority of NHL cases. Patients with B-NHL often experience multiple recurrences, necessitating several lines of antitumor therapy, and develop drug resistance. The recent success of therapeutic strategies targeting CD19 and CD20 highlights the therapeutic potential of identifying unique molecular markers in B-NHL for precision medicine, although challenges like immunogenicity and limited tumor penetration persist.

methodsIn this study, whole-cell phage display was employed to identify the specific binding peptide TG-1 towards B-NHL cells which was confirmed in vitro and in vivo, and its corresponding target CD30 ligand (CD30L) was identified by mass spectrometry and validated by functional assays, molecular docking, bioinformational analyses, knockdown, and rescue experiments. Additionally, the effects of TG-1 and functional roles of CD30L in B-NHL cells were investigated by exploring the molecular mechanisms of CD30/CD30L interactions. Furthermore, TG-1 peptide and doxorubicin co-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were characterized, and their effects on B-NHL cell proliferation were studied both in vitro and in vivo.

resultsHere, we identified and validated the CD30L as a novel target on B-NHL cells, along with its highly specific binding peptide TG-1, using whole-cell phage display. TG-1 binds CD30L, impairing lymphoma cell viability by disrupting the CD30-CD30L signaling axis, which is crucial for B-NHL cell survival. It demonstrates strong inhibitory effects on lymphoma cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the peptide and doxorubicin co-functionalized AuNPs demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on B-NHL cell proliferation, highlighting their potential as a promising therapeutic strategy.

conclusionsIn summary, our findings underscore the potential of CD30L as a novel target for B-NHL treatment and demonstrate the promise of CD30L-targeted peptides in advancing precision medicine for B-NHL, paving the way for future clinical developments.
