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

T-cell lymphoma (TCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is associated with a poor prognosis. Although HDAC inhibitors have been approved for TCL treatment for several years, their expected therapeutic efficacy remains unmet in some patients. In this study, we discovered that TCL tumor cells develop resistance to HDAC inhibitor treatment by upregulating the methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) levels. Furthermore, we confirmed the pharmacological efficacy of the EZH2 inhibitor SHR2554 and demonstrated a synergistic effect when combined with the HDAC inhibitor Chidamide through commercial TCL cell lines, in vivo cell-derived xenograft, and patient-derived xenograft cancer models. We inferred that STAT1 was the key driver of the synergistic effect using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis. Our findings provide sufficient preclinical evidence in support of a potential combination therapy strategy for TCL patients.
