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

purposeHalf of the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with sustained deep molecular response suffer from relapse after discontinuation mainly because tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) cannot eradicate leukemia stem cells (LSCs). In addition, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) is highly detected in CML patients. Our aim was to explore whether TNF-α is a potential target for LSC elimination. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe applied a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technique, colony-forming cell assay, subcutaneous tumor models, miRNA-seq and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) on metabonomics to explore the feasibility and mechanism of TNF-α as a new therapeutic target for CML.

resultsWe demonstrated that TNF-α knockout remarkably decreased the proliferative, colony-forming and in vivo tumorigenesis capacities of the CML K562 cell line. The apoptosis was increased when TNF-α knockout cells were cultured with imatinib. The mechanisms involved in the abovementioned phenomena were that TNF-α knockout inhibited the citrate cycle and increased starch, sucrose, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. In addition, differentially expressed miRNAs between TNF-α knockout and control cells were involved in the cell cycle, CML, P13K-Akt and pathways in cancer.

conclusionWe identified that TNF-α may serve as a new target therapy for CML and described the metabolic pathways associated with TNF-α in CML cells for the first time.
