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

backgroundPeripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a highly heterogeneous group of lymphoid malignancies with diverse pathological and molecular features. Patients harboring TET2 and RHOA double mutations exhibit poor response to anthracycline-based chemotherapy and unfavorable prognosis. Azacitidine, a hypomethylating agent, is frequently used in combination with anthracycline-based regimens in PTCL. However, resistance remains a significant challenge. This study aims to explore novel targeted therapies to overcome therapeutic resistance in TET2/RHOA-mutated PTCL patients.

methodsA systematic screen of 633 anti-tumor compounds was conducted to identify synergistic agents with azacitidine in TET2/RHOA-mutated cells. Cell viability assays, apoptosis analyses, and zebrafish xenograft models were performed to evaluate synergy. Cell-line derived xenograft (CDX) murine models were established to assess in vivo efficacy. RNA-sequencing, western blotting, and immunohistochemical staining were applied to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. A clinical case of TET2/RHOA-mutated PTCL treated with combination therapy was reported and analyzed.

resultsSelinexor, an XPO1 inhibitor, was identified as a potent synergistic agent with azacitidine, significantly enhancing anti-tumor effects across multiple preclinical models. The combination inhibited T-lymphoma proliferation and induced apoptosis, associated with suppression of the JAK3/STAT3 pathway. Mechanistically, azacitidine upregulated negative regulators such as SOCS1, while selinexor sequestered STAT3 in the nucleus and reduced phosphorylated STAT3. In CDX models, the combination treatment markedly reduced tumor burdens. A clinical case of TET2/RHOA-mutated PTCL showed favorable outcomes upon this combination therapy, supporting the translational potential.

conclusionsSelinexor and azacitidine offer a promising strategy to overcome therapeutic resistance and improve outcomes in TET2/RHOA-mutated PTCL, supporting further clinical evaluation.
