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

backgroundActivated mutations in NOTCH1 are drivers of T-cell type acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. The γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI), which suppresses the function of NOTCH1, is expected to be a molecular-targeted agent. NOTCH1 is also expressed in other malignant neoplasms. We aimed to determine the function of NOTCH1 expression and the effects of GSI on adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) caused by long-term human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) infection.

methodsWe analyzed the expression of NOTCH1 in six ATL- and HTLV-1-infected cell lines and investigated the influence of activated NOTCH1 (i.e., the cleaved form of NOTCH1) together with GSI on cell proliferation.

resultsActivated NOTCH1 found in ATL- and HTLV-1-infected cell lines was undetectable after incubation with GSI, regardless of Tax expression (HTLV-1-coded protein). Whole-exome sequencing revealed that activated NOTCH1 mutations were undetectable in six ATL- and HTLV-1-infected cell lines, regardless of abundant NOTCH1 expression. Moreover, GSI did not suppress the growth of ATL cell lines.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that NOTCH1 protein is constitutively activated but is likely a passenger during NOTCH1-mutation-negative ATL cell proliferation.
