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

RUNX1 encodes a Runt-related transcription factor that is critical for hematopoiesis. In this study, through a combinatorial molecular approach, we characterized a novel t(5;21)(q13;q22) translocation involving RUNX1 that was acquired during the progression of myelodysplastic syndrome to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in a pediatric patient. We found that this translocation did not generate RUNX1 fusion but aberrantly upregulated RUNX1. This upregulation was attributed to the disruption of long-range chromatin interactions between the RUNX1 P2 promoter and a silencer in the first intron of the gene. Characterization of the silencer revealed a role of SNAG repressors and their corepressor LSD1/KDM1A in mediating the effect. Our findings suggest that chromosomal rearrangements may activate RUNX1 by perturbing its transcriptional control to contribute to AML pathogenesis, in keeping with an emerging oncogenic role of RUNX1 in leukemia.
