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 correlation between the expression levels of p65 and TNF-α in patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) and AML cell lines were investigated. The bone marrow samples of 30 AML patients and 10 non-leukemia controls were studied. The mRNA expression levels of p65 and TNF-α were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and Pearson's Correlation test was used to demonstrate the correlation between TNF-α and p65 expression levels in AML specimens. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to determine whether TNF-α and p65 expression levels could be used to differentiate AML samples from non-leukemia samples. MG132 and anti-TNF-α antibody were used to inhibit the expression of p65 and TNF-α in the AML cell line, HL-60. The expression of p65 and TNF-α were detected by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The mRNA expression levels of p65 and TNF-α were significantly increased in AML patients compared with non-leukemia control bone marrow samples by RT-qPCR, and the two molecules expression pattern's exhibited sufficient predictive power to distinguish AML patients from non-leukemia control samples. Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated that TNF-α expression was strongly correlated with p65 expression in AML bone marrow samples. In HL-60 cells, inhibition of TNF-α reduced the expression of p65; in addition, inhibition of p65 reduced the expression of TNF-α as assessed by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. p65 and TNF-α were highly expressed in AML patients, and these 2 molecules were strongly correlated. The present study indicates that p65 and TNF-α have potential as molecular markers to distinguish AML patients from non-leukemia control samples, and that these 2 molecules may be useful prognostic factor for patients with AML.
