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

backgroundHedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is involved in regulation of many tissues development and oncogenesis. Recently, Hh signaling has been identified as a required functional pathway for leukemia stem cells(LSCs), and loss of this pathway impairs leukemia progression.

objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the expression of Hedgehog signaling molecules in Chronic Myelogeneous Leukemia (CML) patients and normal people by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and to correlate mRNA expression to patients' clinical data.

resultsHere, we showed that Sonic hedgehog (Shh), Smoothened (Smo), and Gli1 genes of Hh signaling were significantly upregulated in CML patients when compared with normal people (P < 0.001). The levels of Shh, Smo mRNA in chronic phase of CML patients were obviously lower than that in blast crisis (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences of Shh, Ptch1, Smo, Gli1 mRNA expression found when comparing CML patients of chronic phase(CP) with imatinib(IM) treated or not(p > 0.05).

conclusionsThese findings suggested that activation of the Hh pathway maybe associated with CML progression. Treatment of CML with imatinib, a selective inhibitor of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has no significant influence on the inhibition of Hh pathway of CML-CP patients.
