Induction of human fetal hemoglobin expression by adenosine-2',3'-dialdehyde.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPharmacologic reactivation of fetal hemoglobin expression is a promising strategy for treatment of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the methyl transferase inhibitor adenosine-2',3'-dialdehyde (Adox) on induction of human fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in K562 cells and human hematopoietic progenitor cells.
methodsExpression levels of human fetal hemoglobin were assessed by northern blot analysis and Real-time PCR. HbF and adult hemoglobin (HbA) content were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). DNA methylation levels on human gamma-globin gene promoters were determined using Bisulfite sequence analysis. Enrichment of histone marks on genes was assessed by chromosome immunoprecipitation (ChIP).
resultsAdox induced γ-globin gene expression in both K562 cells and in human bone marrow erythroid progenitor cells through a mechanism potentially involving inhibition of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5).
conclusionsThe ability of methyl transferase inhibitors such as Adox to efficiently reactivate fetal hemoglobin expression suggests that these agents may provide a means of reactivating fetal globin expression as a therapeutic option for treating sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia.
