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 ability of glucocorticoids (GC) to efficiently kill lymphoid cells has led to their inclusion in essentially all chemotherapy procedures used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). GC sensitivity is an important prognostic factor in ALL treatment, and it is used to classify patients into risk groups. Clinical assessment for GC sensitivity is very time-consuming, however. We have recently found that granzyme A (GZMA) mediates GC-induced apoptosis in ALL-derived cell line 697. In this study we examined the correlation between GC sensitivity and GC-induced GZMA expression by using seven established cell lines derived from ALL patients. The apoptosis assay showed four cell lines were GC-sensitive and three were GC-resistant. GC treatment markedly enhanced GZMA expression in GC-sensitive cell lines only, and not in GC-resistant cell lines. GC-induced GZMA expression also correlated well with the amount of GC-induced apoptosis. GC-induced GZMA expression could thus be a useful early biomarker for "personalized" ALL therapy.
