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

The human homologue of mouse Ly-1 antibody reactive clone protein (LYAR) is a putative novel regulator of γ-globin gene transcription. The LYAR DNA-binding motif (5′-GGTTAT-3′) is located within the 5′-UTR of the Aγ-globin gene. The LYAR rs368698783 (G>A) polymorphism is present in β-thalassemia patients and decreases the LYAR binding efficiency to the Aγ-globin gene. The objective of this study was to stratify β-thalassemia patients with respect to the rs368698783 (G>A) polymorphism and to verify whether their erythroid precursor cells (ErPCs) differentially respond in vitro to selected fetal hemoglobin (HbF) inducers. The rs368698783 (G>A) polymorphism was detected by DNA sequencing, hemoglobin production by HPLC, and accumulation of globin mRNAs by RT-qPCR. We found that the LYAR rs368698783 (G>A) polymorphism is associated with high basal and induced production of fetal hemoglobin in β-thalassemia patients. The most striking association was found using rapamycin as an HbF inducer. The results presented here could be considered important not only for basic biomedicine but also in applied translational research for precision medicine in personalized therapy of β-thalassemia. Accordingly, our data suggest that the rs368698783 polymorphism might be considered among the parameters useful to recruit patients with the highest probability of responding to in vivo hydroxyurea (HU) treatment.
