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

Dysregulation of apoptosis, and thus the p14/DAP kinase/HDM2/p53/Apaf-1 pathway, is potentially important in carcinogenesis. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), uncommon in the Chinese, is a disease characterized by impaired apoptosis, of the neoplastic lymphocytes. Hypermethylation of p14, DAP kinase and Apaf-1 was studied by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) with primers for methylated (M-MSP) and unmethylated (U-MSP) alleles in 50 diagnostic marrow samples from patients with CLL. Chinese CLL patients had an indolent course similar to Caucasians with median overall survival (OS) of 96 months, which was adversely affected by advanced Rai stage (projected 5-year OS = 72% and 39% for Rai < or = 2 and Rai > 2; P = 0.01). DAP kinase was methylated in 18 (36%) patients while p14 and Apaf-1 were completely unmethylated in all the primary CLL samples. There was no correlation between DAP kinase hypermethylation and age, sex, poor-risk karyotype, lymphocyte count and Rai stage at diagnosis. Projected OS for patients with and without DAP kinase hypermethylation were 59 and 57% (P = 0.91). DAP kinase, but not p14 and Apaf-1, of the DAP kinase/p14/HDM2/p53/Apaf-1 pathway is frequently hypermethylated in CLL, but not of prognostic significance. Moreover Chinese patients with CLL share a similarly indolent clinical course, and this is the first comprehensive study on p14, DAP kinase and Apaf-1 hypermethylation in CLL.
