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

objectiveTo investigate the role of DR4 gene in the occurrence, development and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), find a new regulatory gene of Decitabine for the treatment of AML, namely DR4 gene, and explore the molecular mechanism of AML in the treatment of AML.

methodsThe methylation level and the mRNA expression level of DR4 gene promoters of bone marrow mononuclear cells in 122 patients with newly diagnosed AML and 24 patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were detected using Methylation specific PCR (MS-PCR) and Q-RT-PCR, respectively, and a correlation analysis of them was conducted. The effects of Decitabine on the proliferation of K562 cells were detected using CCK-8 assay. Then, the effects of Decitabine on the methylation level and the mRNA expression level of DR4 genes of K562 cells treated with Decitabine were detected using MS-PCR and Q-RT-PCR, respectively. The effects of Decitabine on the cell cycle and apoptosis of K562 cells were detected using flow cytometry.

resultsCompared with the control group, the methylation level (P = .002) of DR4 genes of bone marrow mononuclear cells in patients with newly diagnosed AML was high. The methylation level (P = .01) of DR4 genes of bone marrow mononuclear cells in patients of the positive group of enlargement of liver, spleen and lymph node was lower than that of the negative group, and the methylation level (P = .006) of DR4 genes in patients of the high risk group of clinical stage was lower than that of the low risk group, and the methylation level (P = .03) of DR4 genes in patients of the group where patients did not achieve complete remission (CR1) after a course of induction chemotherapy was lower than that of the group where patients achieved complete remission (CR1) after a course of induction chemotherapy. There was a significant negative correlation (P < .01) between the methylation level and the mRNA expression level of DR4 genes of bone marrow mononuclear cells in 122 patients with newly diagnosed AML. After the K562 cells were treated with Decitabine for 48 h, the methylation level of DR4 gene promoters gradually decreased, while the mRNA expression level of DR4 genes gradually increased, both of which showed a concentration-dependent relationship. After the K562 cells were treated with 5 µmol/L Decitabine for 48 h, the K562 cells in G0/G1 phase and G2/M phase increased significantly, and the K562 cells in S phase decreased significantly.

conclusionDR4 gene played an important role in the occurrence and development of AML. Decitabine can effectively inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells, which probably partly because it can terminate the methylation effect of DR4 gene promoters and restore the mRNA expression of DR4 genes.
