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

backgoundHigh-grade B-cell lymphoma with concurrent MYC and BCL2/BCL6 rearrangements (HGBL-DHL) is a highly aggressive disease that is resistant to conventional first-line immunochemotherapeutic regimens. This resistance necessitates the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies.

resultIn this study, the combination of chidamide and selinexor showed significant synergistic antilymphoma effects in the treatment of HGBL-DHL. The synergistic effects were evidenced by the inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and perturbation of the cell cycle in cell lines, as assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, Annexin V/PI staining, and PI staining assays. Furthermore, in a xenograft mouse model of HGBL-DHL, this combination therapy markedly reduced the tumor burden without causing lethal toxicity. At the mechanistic level, the combination of chidamide and selinexor resulted in the synergistic downregulation of survivin and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This dual inhibition was attributed to the interactive effects of the two drugs. The downregulation of key downstream targets of the PI3K/AKT pathway, including c-Myc, MCL1, BCL-XL, cyclin A2, and survivin, was synergistic and aligned with the phenotypic outcomes. Notably, survivin, an anti-apoptotic gene, underwent transcriptional repression by FOXO1 at the level of epigenetic regulation. Chidamide combined with selinexor synergistically down-regulated survivin in both the nucleus, cytoplasm and total protein levels via HDAC/FOXO1/survivin, HDAC3/PI3K/AKT/XPO1/survivin, XPO1/FOXO1/survivin, and XPO1/survivin axes.

conclusionOur preclinical data highlighted the potential synergistic efficacy of chidamide and selinexor in targeting HGBL-DHL, providing a rationale for further clinical investigation of this therapeutic combination for the treatment of this refractory disease.
