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

The leukemic fusion gene AML1-MDS1-EVI1 (AME) encodes a chimeric transcription factor that results from the t(3,21)(q26;q22) translocation seen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, with therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome, or with chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis. The myeloid transcription factor CEBPA is crucial for normal granulopoiesis. Here, we found that conditional expression of AME suppresses CEBPA protein by 90.8% and DNA-binding activity by 93.9%. In contrast, CEBPA mRNA levels remained unchanged. In addition, we detected no differences in CEBPA mRNA levels in leukemic blasts of patients carrying the AME translocation (n = 8) compared to acute myeloid leukemia patients with a normal karyotype (n = 9). CEBPA protein and binding activity, however, were reduced significantly (100% and 92.1%, respectively) in AME patient samples. Furthermore, we observed that calreticulin (CRT), a putative inhibitor of CEBPA translation, was strongly activated after induction of AME in the cell-line system (14.8-fold) and in AME patient samples (12.2-fold). Moreover, inhibition of CRT by small interfering RNA powerfully restored CEBPA levels. These results identify CEBPA as a key target of the leukemic fusion protein AME and suggest that modulation of CEBPA by CRT may represent a mechanism involved in the differentiation block in AME leukemias.
