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

Cholesterol uptake via LDL receptor (LDLR) is increased in some malignant tumors, and incorporated LDL contribute to lipid droplet formation. Burkitt's lymphoma is known to have a large number of vacuoles in the cytoplasm, however, intracellular vacuoles are also seen in high-grade lymphomas such as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and primary central nervous system lymphoma. Recent studies have shown that esterified cholesterol is the main component of these vacuoles and the expression of cholesterol metabolism-related molecules such as LDLR, acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) which esterifies free cholesterol, and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) which effluxes free cholesterol, was significantly upregulated in lymphoma cells. Moreover, negative feedback of LDLR was not regulated even under cholesterol-rich conditions in lymphoma cells. We found that cytoplasmic free cholesterol was increased by ACAT and SR-BI inhibitors (CI-976 and BLT-1, respectively), and the accumulation of free cholesterol induced lymphoma cell apoptosis. In addition, overexpression of lipid droplet surface proteins has been correlated with poor prognosis in several malignant tumor such as ovarian cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and it is important to evaluate lipid droplet formation in malignant tumors including lymphomas.
