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

N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (HPR) is a synthetic retinoid that inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in many human cell lines. We explored the effects of HPR on human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-positive and HTLV-I-negative malignant T-cell lines, most of which are resistant to all-trans retinoic acid. Clinically achievable concentrations of HPR caused a dramatic inhibition of cell proliferation, G(0)/G(1) arrest, and massive apoptosis in all tested malignant T cells, while no effect was observed on resting or activated normal lymphocytes. Interestingly, HTLV-I-negative cell lines were significantly more sensitive to HPR compared to HTLV-I-positive and Tax-transfected cells. In HTLV-I-negative cells only, HPR-induced apoptosis was associated with ceramide accumulation, sharp decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and activation of caspases 8, 9 and 3, and could be partially reverted by the caspase inhibitor z-VAD suggesting that Tax protects infected cells from ceramide accumulation and caspase-mediated apoptosis. In HTLV-I-positive cells, HPR treatment rapidly induced proteasomal-mediated degradation of p21, downregulated cyclin D(1), and upregulated bax protein levels. These findings support a potential therapeutic role for HPR in both HTLV-I-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-I-negative peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
