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 pharmacological inhibitors of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) have been suggested as a novel molecular target-based therapy for acute myeloid leukemia. Several studies have established the role of ERK in cell cycle progression from G(1) to S phase in response to mitogen, but the role of ERK after the restriction point is less clarified. In this study, we used models of aphidicolin and nocodazole-synchronized HL-60 and NB4 leukemia cell lines to determine the kinetics of ERK activity during the progression of the cell cycle and to test the effects of commercially available inhibitors on G(2)/M progression of synchronized leukemia cells. In aphidicolin-synchronized cells, the activity of ERK was low during early S phase and increased at late S and G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. The presence of MEK inhibitors PD 98059 and U0126 caused a delay in G(2)/M phase. In nocodazole-synchronized cells, the activity of ERK was low during M/G(1) transition and MEK inhibitors had no effects on return of the cells to G(1) phase. These results demonstrate that the activity of ERK is required during G(2)/M phase of leukemia cell cycle before the cells reach metaphase-anaphase transition.
