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

To clarify the nature of the genes that contribute to the radiosensitivity of human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), we analyzed the gene expression profiles detected in HSPCs irradiated with 2 Gy X-rays after culture with or without an optimal combination of hematopoietic cytokines. Highly purified CD34(+) cells from human placental/umbilical cord blood were used as HSPCs. The cells were exposed to 2 Gy X-irradiation and treated in serum-free medium under five different sets of conditions for 6 h. The gene expression levels were analyzed by cDNA microarray, and then the network of responsive genes was investigated. A comprehensive genetic analysis to search for genes associated with cellular radiosensitivity was undertaken, and we found that expression of the genes downstream of MYC oncogene increased after X-irradiation. In fact, the activation of MYC was observed immediately after X-irradiation, and MYC was the only gene still showing activation at 6 h after irradiation. Furthermore, MYC had a significant impact on the biological response, particularly on the tumorigenesis of cells and the cell cycle control. The activated gene regulator function of MYC resulting from irradiation was suppressed by culturing the HSPCs with combinations of cytokines (recombinant human thrombopoietin + interleukin 3 + stem cell factor), which exerted radioprotective effects. MYC was strongly associated with the radiosensitivity of HSPCs, and further study and clarification of the genetic mechanisms that control the cell cycle following X-irradiation are required.
