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

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of mature T-cell malignancies with poor prognosis. Therefore, improved therapies are urgently required to improve patient outcomes. In this study, metabolic inhibitor drug screening reveals that quinacrine elicits excellent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo by downregulating intracellular arginine levels in PTCL. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses reveal aberrant arginine metabolism in patients with PTCL, characterized by excessive solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) mediated arginine uptake preferentially in tumor cells. High SLC3A2 expression predicts poor outcomes in PTCL, as SLC3A2-mediated arginine uptake promotes the malignant behaviors of tumor cells and induces tumor immune escape, thereby fueling tumor progression. Mechanistically, high arginine levels induce global metabolic changes, including enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting nascent RNA synthesis. This work identifies structure-specific recognition protein 1 (SSRP1), which upregulates SLC3A2, as a co-transcription factor with JUNB. Quinacrine disrupts SLC3A2-mediated arginine transport by targeting SSRP1. Combining quinacrine with histone deacetylase inhibitors is a promising therapeutic strategy for PTCL.
