Human telomerase reverse transcriptase protects hematopoietic progenitor TF-1 cells from death and quiescence induced by cytokine withdrawal.

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.
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
Telomerase is a complex ribonucleoprotein enzyme that exhibits elevated activity in the majority of cases of human leukemia. We have previously shown that retroviral expression of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), in human cord blood CD34+ cells leads to an enhanced survival of mature hematopoietic cells. The mechanism for this pro-survival effect is not known. Here, we show that telomerase may play a role in leukemogenesis as a survival factor, independent of its role in maintaining telomere length. Retroviral expression of hTERT in the cytokine-dependent, human hematopoietic progenitor cell line, TF-1, resulted in the survival of cells following the withdrawal of cytokine, with protection from apoptosis, but did not promote unlimited replicative potential. This hTERT-mediated effect on cell survival does not involve Bcl-2 family members, results in accumulation of cells in G1 and appears to operate via autocrine expression of IL-3 and activation of the p53/p21 pathway. Survival in the absence of cytokine stimulation was also observed following retroviral expression of hTERT in normal cord blood CD34+ cells. This study demonstrates a novel pro-survival role for hTERT and may have important implications for the role of hTERT in the pathogenesis of leukemia and drug resistance.
