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

The Pim proteins are Ser/Thr kinases over-expressed in several hematological malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and some solid cancers like prostate cancer. Several small molecules have been developed to inhibit these kinases. In prostate cancer cell lines, the Pim kinase inhibitor SMI-4a and the Bcl-2 antagonist ABT-737 resulted in synergistic cytotoxicity. Akin to prostate cancer cells, CLL lymphocytes over-express Pim and Bcl-2 proteins. It was hypothesized that similar cytotoxic interaction should be observed in CLL. This study evaluated the in vitro cytotoxic effect of three Pim kinase inhibitors (AZD1208, SGI-1776 and SMI-4a) combined with Bcl-2 antagonists (ABT-737 or ABT-199) in malignant CLL lymphocytes. Data indicated Pim kinase inhibitors in combination with ABT-737 or ABT-199 resulted mostly in additive cytotoxicity with a few synergistic responses; however, the extent of synergism was less robust than that observed previously in prostate cancer cell lines treated with SMI-4a and ABT-737.
