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

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. During cell cycle progression from the mid- to late G1 phase, mammalian cells traverse the restriction point, a transition from mitogen dependence to mitogen independence, regulated by retinoblastoma protein (Rb). Different cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) sequentially phosphorylate and inactivate Rb, which is associated by a change in Rb's nuclear affinity and activation of E2F transcription. Here, we show by in vitro kinase assays that ALL extracts contained CDK2 catalytic activity. When liberation of Rb from cell nuclei was tested by immune precipitation of differential cell extractions and Western blot analysis, little Rb was associated with the nuclear compartment. Together with the immunocytochemical analysis at a single cell level that Rb was phosphorylated at serine 612 and threonine 821, sites known to be phosphorylated by CDK2, the data indicated the presence of CDK2 catalytic activity and loss of Rb's nuclear affinity in ALL cells. We conclude that most ALL cells reside at or beyond the restriction point. This could explain the resistance of ALL cells to differentiation induction.
