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

WT1, a tumor suppressor gene responsible for the development of childhood kidney tumors, is now also thought to be involved in the occurrence of human leukemia. First, evidence has shown that WT1 functions during hematopoiesis and regulates the proliferation and differentiation of blood cells. Second, specific expression patterns of this gene correlate with the malignant phenotype of leukemia compared with the physiological situation. Third, mutations of WT1 can be detected, though not frequently, in human leukemia but not in normal hematopoietic cells. Thus, a possible role of WT1 in human leukemogenesis has been proposed. Because the expression of this gene is relatively high during the so-called myelodysplastic stages and in all subtypes of human leukemia compared with normal blood cells, the notion has been raised that WT1 can be used as a "panleukemic marker" for the diagnosis of leukemia at the molecular level. The expression level of WT1 may have significance in predicting prognosis and monitoring relapse. Moreover, with a deeper understanding of its role in leukemogenesis, WT1 may serve as a target molecule in the strategy of gene therapy for leukemia.
