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

Recent studies have identified the integrin alpha 4 beta 7 as a mucosal homing receptor that mediates lymphocyte migration to the intestinal mucosa by binding to MAdCAM-1, a vascular recognition molecule (addressin) selectively expressed on mucosal endothelium. In the present study, we have assessed the expression of alpha 4 beta 7 on B- and T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of different primary localization and on related normal lymphocytes. Among B-lineage lymphomas, expression of alpha 4 beta 7 was present in the majority of cases of malignant lymphomatous polyposis of the intestine and low-grade lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue/monocytoid B-cell lymphoma and in some cases of precursor B-cell lymphoma. CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma, (nodal) mantle cell lymphoma, follicular center cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were virtually always alpha 4 beta 7 negative, as was the case when localized in the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The normal B cells of the follicle mantles and part of the B cells of the extrafollicular B-cell compartment of lymphoid tissues expressed moderate levels of alpha 4 beta 7. By contrast, follicular center cells were alpha 4 beta 7 negative. Among T-lineage lymphomas, expression of alpha 4 beta 7 was also strongly related to the primary localization; in mucosal, nodal, and cutaneous T cell lymphomas the percentage of positive cases was 56%, 17%, and 0%, respectively. All cases of precursor T-cell lymphoma were alpha 4 beta 7 negative. High expression of alpha 4 beta 7 was found on a subset of peripheral blood memory T cells as well as on lymphocytes in the intestinal mucosa. We conclude that non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that are related to mucosa-associated B- and T-lymphocyte populations selectively express the mucosal homing receptor alpha 4 beta 7. The presence of this receptor underscores their distinctive character and may play an important role in determining their characteristic mucosal dissemination pattern.
