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

FAS (TNF receptor superfamily member 6, also known as CD95) plays a major role in T-cell apoptosis and is often dysregulated in CTCL. We searched for structural alterations of the FAS gene with the potential to affect its function. Although several heterozygous FAS promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected, the only homozygous one was the -671 GG SNP present in 24/80 CTCL cases (30%). This SNP maps to an interferon response element activated by STAT-1. EMSA and supershift EMSA showed decreased CTCL nuclear protein/STAT-1 binding to oligonucleotides bearing this SNP. Luciferase reporters showed significantly less interferon-alfa responsive expression by FAS promoter constructs containing this SNP in multiple CTCL lines. Finally, FAS was upregulated by interferon-alfa in wildtype CTCL cells but not those bearing the -671 GG SNP. These findings indicate that many CTCL patients harbor the homozygous FAS promoter -671 GG SNP capable of blunting its response to interferon. This may have implications for CTCL pathogenesis, racial incidence and the response of patients to interferon-alfa therapy. In contrast, functionally significant mutations in FAS coding sequences were detected uncommonly. Among CTCL lines with the potential to serve as models of FAS regulation, FAS-high MyLa had both FAS alleles, FAS-low HH was FAS-hemizygous and FAS-negative SeAx was FAS-null.
