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

Twist proteins are members of basic helix-loop-helix family and are major regulators of embryogenesis. In adult humans, Twist proteins are mainly expressed in precursor cells, including myogenic, osteoblastic, chondroblastic and myelomonocytic lineages, maintaining their undifferentiated state. In addition, they play important roles in lymphocyte function and maturation. Recently, several studies have reported regulatory roles for Twist in the function and development of hematopoietic cells as well as in survival and development of numerous hematological malignancies. It is activated by numerous signal transduction pathways, including Akt, nuclear factor κB, Wnt, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, mitogen-activated protein kinase and Ras signaling. Activated Twist has an anti-apoptotic role and protects cancer cells from apoptotic cell death. In addition, overexpression of Twist promotes the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which has an essential role in cancer metastasis. Hereby, we review the aberrant expression of Twist in hematopoietic malignancies such as leukemias, lymphomas and myelodysplastic syndrome, which is related with poor prognosis and drug resistance in these disorders. Inactivation of Twist by small RNAs technology or chemotherapeutic inhibitors targeting Twist and upstream or downstream molecules of Twist signaling pathways may be helpful in management of disease to improve treatment strategies in malignancies.
