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

Patients with low-grade myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) show high levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and up-regulation of apoptosis in the marrow. In contrast, marrow cells in advanced MDS are typically resistant to TNFα-induced apoptosis but are rendered apoptosis-sensitive on coculture with stroma. The present studies show that CD34(+) marrow cells in advanced MDS express high levels of TWIST, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that opposes p53 function. TWIST levels correlated with disease stage (advanced > low grade; P = .01). Coculture with HS5 stroma resulted in down-regulation of TWIST and increased apoptosis in response to TNFα in CD34(+) cells from advanced MDS; the same effect was achieved by TWIST-specific RNA interference in CD34(+) cells. In primary MDS marrow stroma TWIST expression was lower than in healthy controls; suppression of TWIST in stroma interfered with induction of apoptosis sensitivity in cocultured CD34(+) cells. Stroma cells so modified expressed reduced levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1; CD54); blockade of ICAM1 in unmodified stroma was associated with reduced apoptosis in cocultured CD34(+) MDS marrow cells. These data suggest role for dysregulation of TWIST in the pathophysiology of MDS. Conceivably, TWIST or components in the signaling pathway could serve as therapeutic targets for patients with MDS.
