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

Ectopic C/EBPalpha expression in p210(BCR/ABL)-expressing hematopoietic cells induces granulocytic differentiation, inhibits proliferation, and suppresses leukemogenesis. To assess the underlying mechanisms, C/EBPalpha targets were identified by microarray analyses. Upon C/EBPalpha activation, expression of c-Myb and GATA-2 was repressed in 32D-BCR/ABL, K562, and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) blast crisis (BC) primary cells but only c-Myb levels decreased slightly in CD34(+) normal progenitors. The role of these 2 genes for the effects of C/EBPalpha was assessed by perturbing their expression in K562 cells. Ectopic c-Myb expression blocked the proliferation inhibition- and differentiation-inducing effects of C/EBPalpha, whereas c-Myb siRNA treatment enhanced C/EBPalpha-mediated proliferation inhibition and induced changes in gene expression indicative of monocytic differentiation. Ectopic GATA-2 expression suppressed the proliferation inhibitory effect of C/EBPalpha but blocked in part the effect on differentiation; GATA-2 siRNA treatment had no effects on C/EBPalpha induction of differentiation but inhibited proliferation of K562 cells, alone or upon C/EBPalpha activation. In summary, the effects of C/EBPalpha in p210(BCR/ABL)-expressing cells depend, in part, on transcriptional repression of c-Myb and GATA-2. Since perturbation of c-Myb and GATA-2 expression has nonidentical consequences for proliferation and differentiation of K562 cells, the effects of C/EBPalpha appear to involve dif-ferent transcription-regulated targets.
