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

Three annotated CSF3R mRNA splice variants have been described. CSF3R-V1 is the wild-type receptor, while CSF3R-V4 is a truncated form increased in some patients with AML. CSF3R-V3 mRNA was identified in placenta more than 20 years ago, but remains largely uncharacterized due to the lack of a suitable detection assay. Using a novel digital PCR method to quantitate expression of each CSF3R mRNA splice variant in hematopoietic cells, CSF3R-V1 was most highly expressed followed by CSF3R-V3. Functional assays revealed expression of V3 alone conferred a hypoproliferative phenotype associated with defective JAK-STAT activation. However, coexpression of V1 with V3 rescued proliferative responses. Comparative analysis of V3/V1 expression in CD34+ cells from healthy donors and patients with AML revealed a statistically significant increase in the V3/V1 ratio only in the subset of patients with AML harboring SRSF2 mutations. Knockout of SRFS2 in KG-1 and normal CD34+ cells decreased the V3/V1 ratio. Collectively, these data are the first to demonstrate expression of the CSF3R-V3 splice variant in primary human myeloid cells and a role for SRSF2 in modulating CSF3R splicing. Our findings provide confirmatory evidence that CSF3R is a target of SRSF2 mutations, which has implications for novel treatment strategies for SRSF2-mutated myeloid malignancies.
