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

Using a novel cell-based assay to profile transcriptional pathway targeting, we have identified a new functional class of thalidomide analogs with distinct and selective antileukemic activity. These agents activate nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) transcriptional pathways while simultaneously repressing nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) via a rapid intracellular amplification of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The elevated ROS is associated with increased intracellular free calcium, rapid dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential, disrupted mitochondrial structure, and caspase-independent cell death. This cytotoxicity is highly selective for transformed lymphoid cells, is reversed by free radical scavengers, synergizes with the antileukemic activity of other redox-directed compounds, and preferentially targets cells in the S phase of the cell cycle. Live-cell imaging reveals a rapid drug-induced burst of ROS originating in the endoplasmic reticulum and associated mitochondria just prior to spreading throughout the cell. As members of a novel functional class of "redoxreactive" thalidomides, these compounds provide a new tool through which selective cellular properties of redox status and intracellular bioactivation can be leveraged by rational combinatorial therapeutic strategies and appropriate drug design to exploit cell-specific vulnerabilities for maximum drug efficacy.
