MYC target gene activation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and richter transformation: links to aggressiveness and tumor microenvironment interactions.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is characterized by clinical and biological heterogeneity, with a subset of patients progressing to Richter Transformation (RT), an aggressive lymphoma. This study explores MYC target gene activation across various CLL stages and disease subgroups using bulk RNAseq and single-cell RNAseq data. Our findings reveal increased MYC activation in unmutated IGHV CLLs, trisomy 12 cases, and RT stages. In RT, MYC activation is independent of B-cell receptor signaling, correlating instead with cell cycling and TLR9 interactions, indicating alternative survival mechanisms. High MYC activation correlates with shorter time to first treatment and enhances tumor microenvironment interactions, particularly with myeloid cells. These results underscore MYC's significant role in CLL progression and RT, supporting MYC's potential as a target for stratifying CLL patients and developing therapeutic strategies.
