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

MALAT1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with altered expression in many cancers but poorly studied in B-cell neoplasms like mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a very aggressive B-cell lymphoma. To elucidate the role of MALAT1 in MCL we have investigated its expression in 219 primary tumors using microarray data. We also analyzed the expression of its natural antisense transcript (TALAM1), which is key for the processing of MALAT1 RNA to its active isoform. High expression of MALAT1/TALAM1 lncRNAs was consistently linked to favorable clinical behavior in MCL, independently of other alterations previously described to influence MCL prognosis. In concordance with the observed clinical association, we found that the increased expression of these lncRNAs was inversely associated with gene signatures related to a proliferative and activation phenotype (MCL35-proliferation/BCR signaling signatures) in MCL samples from lymph nodes as peripheral blood. Finally, functional studies of MALAT1 in MCL primary samples showed that its levels were downregulated by microenvironmental stimuli and EZH2 activity, a known epigenetic factor induced by pro-proliferative stimuli and previously related with poor MCL prognosis. Altogether, these data support the favorable prognostic value of MALAT1 expression in MCL, and the MALAT1 dual role as oncogene or tumor suppressor in different neoplasms.
