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

MicroRNAs have been extensively studied as regulators of hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis. We identified miR-638 as a novel regulator in myeloid differentiation and proliferation of leukemic cells. We found that miR-638 was developmentally up-regulated in cells of myeloid but not lymphoid lineage. Furthermore, significant miR-638 down-regulation was observed in primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts, whereas miR-638 expression was dramatically up-regulated in primary AML blasts and leukemic cell lines undergoing forced myeloid differentiation. These observations suggest that miR-638 might play a role in myeloid differentiation, and its dysregulation may contribute to leukemogenesis. Indeed, ectopic expression of miR-638 promoted phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate- or all-trans-retinoic acid-induced differentiation of leukemic cell lines and primary AML blasts, whereas miR-638 inhibition caused an opposite phenotype. Consistently, miR-638 overexpression induced G1 cell cycle arrest and reduced colony formation in soft agar. Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) was found to be a target gene of miR-638. CDK2 inhibition phenotypically mimicked the overexpression of miR-638. Moreover, forced expression of CDK2 restored the proliferation and the colony-forming ability inhibited by miR-638. Our data suggest that miR-638 regulates proliferation and myeloid differentiation by targeting CDK2 and may serve as a novel target for leukemia therapy or marker for AML diagnosis and prognosis.
