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.

Abstract

Follicular lymphoma (FL) patients are at risk of disease transformation to aggressive high-grade lymphoma (tFL). While several genetic alterations have been implicated in tFL, the role of microenvironmental interactions and post-transcriptional regulation by non-coding RNAs remains poorly understood. We performed the first matched profiling of mRNAs and short non-coding RNAs (miRNAs) in paired FL and tFL samples (n = 11 pairs). This revealed differential expression of 1,075 mRNAs and 19 miRNAs, including repression of miR-29 family in tFL (miR-29a/b/c). Further analysis uncovered that MYC directly transcriptionally represses miR-29 in tFL, resulting in the upregulation of its target TRAF4. TRAF4 upregulation contributes to CD40 signaling being strongly activated in tFL and supports malignant B-cell proliferation. Notably, this increased CD40 pathway activity in 90% of tFL and contrasted with the reduced T-cell numbers in tFL niches. Thus, the MYC-miR-29-TRAF4 axis and increased CD40 signaling propensity may serve as tFL cells' adaptation to reduced numbers of CD40L+ T-cells. Moreover, lower levels of all miR-29s(a/b/c) were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival in FL (n = 185), including in a multivariate analysis. Low miR-29c was also associated with shorter OS in a validation cohort (n = 92) from the first-line R-CHOP therapy clinical trial (SWOG S0016, NCT00006721).
