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

Introduction: By stabilizing actin filaments and recruiting non-muscle myosin II, the closely related tropomyosin (Tpm) isoforms Tpm3.1 and Tpm3.2 support actin-dependent processes including membrane dynamics, cell migration, and cytokinesis. Actin dynamics are essential for B cell function, but the roles of Tpm3.1 and 3.2 (collectively termed Tpm3.1/3.2) in B cells have not been explored. Moreover, new treatments are needed to limit the growth and dissemination of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most prevalent B-cell malignancy. Methods: To test whether Tpm3.1/3.2 is essential for B-cell actin dynamics and could be a target for treating DLBCL, we employed ATM-3507, a compound that selectively interferes with Tpm3.1/3.2 function. Results: We show that ATM-3507 treatment inhibited B-cell receptor-induced formation of the peripheral ring of branched actin that drives cell spreading and also prevented the formation of actomyosin arcs at the inner face of the peripheral actin ring. Tpm3.1/3.2 localizes to these structures during B-cell spreading. Treating DLBCL cell lines with ATM-3507 inhibited cell growth and caused the cells to accumulate in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, ATM-3507 markedly reduced CXCL12-stimulated chemotaxis and integrin-dependent motility of DLBCL cell lines on fibronectin. Conclusion: Tpm3.1/3.2 orchestrates key actin-driven processes in B cells, and drugs that target Tpm3.1/3.2 may be useful adjuncts for treating DLBCL.
