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

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling plays an important role in many tumors and overexpression of IGF Binding Protein (IGFBP) 2 has been associated with adverse outcome in childhood leukemia. Here, we evaluated IGFBP2 mRNA expression and its prognostic implications in 99 adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. High IGFBP2 was associated with a high incidence of primary resistant disease (IGFBP2 high 65%, IGFBP2 low 32%; P=0.02) and was independently predictive for therapy resistance [OR 3.6 (95% CI 1.2-11); P=0.02] in multivariate analyses. Gene-expression profiling revealed an up-regulation of genes implicated in leukemogenesis (MYB, MEIS1, HOXB3, HOXA9) and genes associated with adverse outcome (ERG, WT1) in patients with high IGFBP2 expression. Thus, our data suggest a role of IGFBP2 and IGF signaling in chemoresistance of AML. Patients with high IGFBP2 expression might benefit from molecular therapies targeting the IGF pathway.
