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

introductionCauses of treatment failure in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are still poorly understood. Microarray technology gives new possibilities for the analysis of the biology of leukemias. We hypothesize that drug sensitivity in pediatric ALL is driven by specific molecular mechanisms that correlate with gene expression profiles assessed by microarray analysis.

objectiveThe aim of the study was to determine the ex vivo resistance profiles of 20 antileukemic drugs and gene expression profiles, with relation to response to initial therapy. PATIENTS AND

methodsLymphoblasts were analyzed after bone marrow biopsy was obtained from 56 patients. The profile of in vitro resistance to drugs was determined in the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) cytotoxicity assay. High-quality total RNA was prepared and hybridized to oligonucleotide arrays HG-U133A 2.0 Chip (Affymetrix). The expression of selected genes was tested by qualitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS AND

conclusionsThe exposure of leukemic blasts to drugs initiates a complex cellular response, which reflects global changes in gene expression. Changes in the expression of several genes are highly correlated with drug resistance.
