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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprises a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic progenitors. We previously showed that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1/Hsp32) underlies resistance of AML to TNF-induced apoptosis. Here we show for the first time that the modulatory protein, FLICE-inhibitory protein (FLIP) indirectly regulates induction of HO-1 in response to TNF in human AML blasts, but not non-cancerous control cells. In AML cells, TNF-induced FLIP expression was an NF-κB-dependent event, and silencing of FLIP isoforms (FLIPL, FLIPS and FLIPR) induced pro-apoptotic responses to TNF, with FLIPL knock-down providing the greatest apoptotic switch. However, FLIPL knock-down consequently increased expression of HO-1; a response that occurred in AML (but not non-cancerous) cells to protect a proportion of them from apoptotic death. Our results show that increases in HO-1 induced an apoptotic-resistant form in AML cells in the absence of FLIPL. This is the first time that FLIPL has been shown to regulate the expression of HO-1. These data reveal unique regulatory networks in cancerous AML cells whereby FLIP regulation of HO-1 provides AML cells with secondary anti-apoptotic protection against extrinsic factors (eg TNF/chemotherapies) that try to switch on death signals in these highly death-resistant cells. Future AML therapies should target these mechanisms.
