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

HACE1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase located in 6q21, the genomic region frequently deleted in natural killer (NK) cell malignancies. Here, we report HACE1 as a candidate tumor suppressor gene silenced through a combination of deletion and cytosine phosphate guanine island hypermethylation. We detected deletion of HACE1 in malignant NK cell lines (6 of 9, 67%) and primary biopsies (5 of 15, 33%) by quantitative PCR, with most of the specimen showing cytosine phosphate guanine island hypermethylation in the remaining allele, leading to low mRNA transcription. The ectopic expression of HACE1 in an HACE1-null NK cell line led to apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest. Moreover, HACE1 expression was up-regulated in IL-2-activated normal NK cells and NK cells cocultured with an engineered NK cell target, K562 Clone 9.mbIL21, suggesting its role in the regulation of NK cell homeostasis. In conclusion, HACE1 is another potent tumor suppressor gene located within the 6q21 region, and loss of function of multiple tumor suppressor genes within 6q21 may be a critical determinant of NK cell lymphomagenesis.
