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 human mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene is frequently involved in genetic rearrangements with more than 55 different translocation partner genes, all associated with acute leukemia. Reciprocal chromosomal translocations generate two MLL fusion alleles, where 5'- and 3'-portions of MLL are fused to gene segments of given fusion partners. In case of t(4;11) patients, about 80% of all patients exhibit both reciprocal fusion alleles, MLL.AF4 and AF4.MLL, respectively. By contrast, 20% of all t(4;11) patients seem to encode only the MLL.AF4 fusion allele. Here, we analyzed these 'MLL.AF4(+)/AF4.MLL(-)' patients at the genomic DNA level to unravel their genetic situation. Cryptic translocations and three-way translocations were found in this group of t(4;11) patients. Reciprocal MLL fusions with novel translocation partner genes, for example NF-KB1 and RABGAP1L, were identified and actively transcribed in leukemic cells. In other patients, the reciprocal 3'-MLL gene segment was fused out-of-frame to PBX1, ELF2, DSCAML1 and FXYD6. The latter rearrangements caused haploinsufficiency of genes that are normally expressed in hematopoietic cells. Finally, patients were identified that encode only solitary 3'-MLL gene segments on the reciprocal allele. Based on these data, we propose that all t(4;11) patients exhibit reciprocal MLL alleles, but due to the individual recombination events, provide different pathological disease mechanisms.
