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

Parthenolide is selectively toxic to leukemia cells; however, it also activates cell protective responses that may limit its clinical application. Therefore, we sought to identify agents that synergistically enhance parthenolide's cytotoxicity. Using a high-throughput combination drug screen, we identified the anti-hyperglycemic, vildagliptin, which synergized with parthenolide to induce death of the leukemia stem cell line, TEX (combination index (CI)=0.36 and 0.16, at effective concentration (EC) 50 and 80, respectively; where CI <1 denotes statistical synergy). The combination of parthenolide and vildagliptin reduced the viability and clonogenic growth of cells from acute myeloid leukemia patients and had limited effects on the viability of normal human peripheral blood stem cells. The basis for synergy was independent of vildagliptin's primary action as an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) IV. Rather, using chemical and genetic approaches we demonstrated that the synergy was due to inhibition of the related enzymes DPP8 and DPP9. In summary, these results highlight DPP8 and DPP9 inhibition as a novel chemosensitizing strategy in leukemia cells. Moreover, these results suggest that the combination of vildagliptin and parthenolide could be useful for the treatment of leukemia.
