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

backgroundAcute myeloid leukemia with complex karyotype (CK-AML) is a distinct biological entity associated with a very poor outcome. Since complex karyotypes frequently contain deletions of the chromosomal region 12p13 encompassing the tumor suppressor genes ETV6 and CDKN1B, we aimed to unravel their modes of inactivation in CK-AML.

resultsTo decipher deletions, mutations and methylation of ETV6 and CDKN1B, arrayCGH, SNP arrays, direct sequencing of all coding exons and pyrosequencing of the 5'UTR CpG islands of ETV6 and CDKN1B were performed. In total, 39 of 79 patients (49%) showed monoallelic deletions of 12p13 according to karyotypic data and 20 of 43 patients (47%) according to genomic profiling. Genomic profiling led to the minimal deleted region covering the 3'-UTR of ETV6 and CDKN1B. Direct sequencing revealed one novel monoallelic frameshift mutation in ETV6 while no mutations in CDKN1B were identified. Furthermore, methylation levels of ETV6 and CDKN1B did not indicate transcriptional silencing of any of these genes. ETV6 and CDKN1B had reduced expression levels in CK-AML patients with deletion in 12p13 as compared to CK-AML without deletion in 12p13, while the other genes (BCL2L14, LRP6, DUSP16 and GPRC5D) located within the minimal deleted region in 12p13 had very low or missing expression in CK-AML irrespective of their copy number status.

conclusionsETV6 and CDKN1B are mainly affected by small monoallelic deletions, whereas mutations and hypermethylation play a minor role in CK-AML. Reduced gene dosage led to reduced gene expression levels, pointing to haploinsufficiency as the relevant mechanism of inactivation of ETV6 and CDKN1B in CK-AML.
