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

Imatinib is an effective first-line therapy for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) that acts by targeting the tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL. To overcome resistance, second-generation inhibitors of BCR-ABL have been developed. Among these, nilotinib is more potent against BCR-ABL than imatinib, and is effective against many imatinib-resistant BCR-ABL mutants. In this study, an in vitro flow cytometry assay to analyze imatinib- and nilotinib-induced apoptosis in CML cells has been developed. Both the drugs induced significant apoptosis in CD34+ cells from 36 CML bone marrow samples (P<10(-4)), whereas CD34+ cells from BCR-ABL negative samples were unaffected. When the experiments were carried out in the presence of a cocktail of cytokines, nilotinib- but not imatinib-induced apoptosis was inhibited. This differential inhibition was confirmed on K562 cells. A blocking anti-CD117 antibody alleviated the antiapoptotic effect of cytokines against nilotinib. Moreover, using short hairpin RNA against BCR-ABL, we showed that K562 cells were not dependent on BCR-ABL signaling as long as the stem cell factor (SCF) receptor pathway was activated. We conclude that the c-KIT pathway may substitute for BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase to activate survival signals, and that c-KIT must be inhibited besides Bcr-Abl to allow apoptosis of CML cells.
