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

Class I homeobox (HOX) genes comprise a large family of transcription factors that have been implicated in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. However, data on their expression or function during T-cell development is limited. Using degenerated RT-PCR and Affymetrix microarray analysis, we analyzed the expression pattern of this gene family in human multipotent stem cells from fetal liver (FL) and adult bone marrow (ABM), and in T-cell progenitors from child thymus. We show that FL and ABM stem cells are similar in terms of HOX gene expression, but significant differences were observed between these two cell types and child thymocytes. As the most immature thymocytes are derived from immigrated FL and ABM stem cells, this indicates a drastic change in HOX gene expression upon entry into the thymus. Further analysis of HOX-A7, HOX-A9, HOX-A10, and HOX-A11 expression with specific RT-PCR in all thymocyte differentiation stages showed a sequential loss of 3' region HOX-A cluster genes during intrathymic T-cell development and an unexpected expression of HOX-A11, previously not recognized to play a role in hematopoiesis. Also HOX-B3 and HOX-C4 were expressed throughout thymocyte development. Overall, these data provide novel evidence for an important role of certain HOX genes in human T-cell development.
