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

Alkylphospholipids and alkylphosphocholines (APCs) are promising antitumor agents, which target the plasma membrane and affect multiple signal transduction networks. We investigated the therapeutic potential of erucylphosphohomocholine (ErPC3), the first intravenously applicable APC, in human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells. ErPC3 was tested on AML cell lines, as well as AML primary cells. At short (6-12 h) incubation times, the drug blocked cells in G2/M phase of the cell cycle, whereas, at longer incubation times, it decreased survival and induced cell death by apoptosis. ErPC3 caused JNK 1/2 activation as well as ERK 1/2 dephosphorylation. Pharmacological inhibition of caspase-3 or a JNK 1/2 inhibitor peptide markedly reduced ErPC3 cytotoxicity. Protein phosphatase 2A downregulation by siRNA opposed ERK 1/2 dephosphorylation and blunted the cytotoxic effect of ErPC3. ErPC3 was cytotoxic to AML primary cells and reduced the clonogenic activity of CD34(+) leukemic cells. ErPC3 induced a significant apoptosis in the compartment (CD34(+) CD38(Low/Neg) CD123(+)) enriched in putative leukemia-initiating cells. This conclusion was supported by ErPC3 cytotoxicity on AML blasts showing high aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and on the side population of AML cell lines and blasts. These findings indicate that ErPC3 might be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of AML patients.
