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

objectiveSecreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRPs) as Wnt signaling antagonists have been found to be dysregulated by promoter hypermethylation in several cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aimed to investigate the methylated status of SFRPs promoter region and its clinical relevance in Chinese non-M3 AML patients.

methodsSFRPs methylation in 139 primary non-M3 AML patients was determined using methylation-specific real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

resultsThe frequency of aberrant methylation was as follows: 30.2% for SFRP1, 27.3% for SFRP2, 5.0% for SFRP4, and 1.4% for SFRP5. Hypermethylation of at least one SFRP gene occurred in 51.8% (72/139) of non-M3 AML patient samples, which was significantly higher compared to normal control (0/21) (

conclusionThese findings suggested that hypermethylation of SFRP1/2 was a frequent event and silenced SFRP1/2 expression in AML. Moreover, hypermethylation of SFRPs promoter was an adverse risk factor for OS in Chinese non-M3 AML patients.
