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

Regulatory factor X 7 (RFX7) nonsense mutations have been found in different human B cell malignancies. We therefore set out to study the role of RFX7 in B cell activation and lymphomagenesis. Here we show that RFX7 truncations cause loss-of-function and dominant-negative effects. Moreover, low RFX7 mRNA levels correlate with worse diffuse large B cell lymphoma prognosis. Accordingly, Rfx7 deletion in B cells accelerates pathogenesis in mouse Bcl6- and p53-loss-driven B cell lymphoma models. Rfx7-deficient B cells exhibit increased Myc activity and enhanced germinal center B cell and plasmablast responses. These alterations are reverted by Myc haploinsufficiency, which provides partial protection from nonsymptomatic p53
