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

Trib2 pseudokinase is involved in the etiology of a number of cancers including leukaemia, melanoma, ovarian, lung and liver cancer. Both high and low Trib2 expression levels correlate with different types of cancer. Elevated Trib2 expression has oncogenic properties in both leukaemia and lung cancer dependent on interactions with proteasome machinery proteins and degradation of transcription factors. Here, we demonstrated that Trib2 deficiency conferred a growth and survival advantage both at steady state and in stress conditions in leukaemia cells. In response to stress, wild type leukaemia cells exited the cell cycle and underwent apoptosis. In contrast, Trib2 deficient leukaemia cells continued to enter mitosis and survive. We showed that Trib2 deficient leukaemia cells had defective MAPK p38 signalling, which associated with a reduced γ-H2Ax and Chk1 stress signalling response, and continued proliferation following stress, associated with inefficient activation of cell cycle inhibitors p21, p16 and p19. Furthermore, Trib2 deficient leukaemia cells were more resistant to chemotherapy than wild type leukaemia cells, having less apoptosis and continued propagation. Trib2 re-expression or pharmacological activation of p38 in Trib2 deficient leukaemia cells sensitised the cells to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis comparable with wild type leukaemia cells. Our data provide evidence for a tumour suppressor role of Trib2 in myeloid leukaemia via activation of p38 stress signalling. This newly identified role indicates that Trib2 may counteract the propagation and chemotherapy resistance of leukaemia cells.
