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

objectivesSALL4 gene was aberrantly expressed in many leukemia cell lines and primary leukemia cells of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphomas. Its expression may be a useful marker to predict the diagnosis and the risk stratification of patients with AML.

methodsThis study aimed to characterize the expression pattern of SALL4 gene in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Quantitative Real-time PCR was used to determine the expression level of the gene in peripheral blood of 52 Egyptian adult AML patients and 10 healthy control cases. Our study was done in the National Cancer Institute during the period of time between December 2014 and June 2015.

resultsThe observed data revealed that none of the studied controls expressed SALL4 > 1.0 RQ and there was a highly statistically significant difference between cases and controls regarding SALL4 gene expression where all cases showed higher expression of SALL4 than controls with p value <0.001.

conclusionIn AML, SALL4 is one of few genes that bridge the self-renewal properties of ESCs, normal HSCs and LSCs. Their expression is easily determined by real time PCR. They may be useful markers to predict prognosis and help to stratify patients into risk adapted groups. Further studies including increasing patient numbers are essential to understand the relations between SALL4 gene expression and its prognostic impact.
