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

Differentiation therapy has been successfully applied clinically in cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), but few differentiation-induction agents other than all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) have been discovered clinically. Based on our previously reported neuritogenic differentiation activity of synthetic dimeric derivatives of securinine, we explored the leukemia differentiation-induction activity of such as compound, SN3-L6. It was found that SN3-L6 induces transdifferentiation of both acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells but unexpectedly, a new transdifferentiation pathway from APL cells to morphologically and immunologically normal megakaryocytes and platelets were discovered. SN3-L6 fails to induce transdifferentiation of ATRA-produced mature granulocytes into megakaryocytes, indicating its selectivity between mature and immature cells. SN3-L6 induces CML K562 cells to transdifferentiate into apoptotic megakaryocytes but without platelet formation, indicating a desirable selectivity between different leukemia cells. Our data illuminate a differentiation gap between AML cells and platelets, and promises applications in leukemia differentiation therapy strategy.
