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

IRX genes are members of the TALE homeobox gene class and encode six related transcription factors (IRX1-IRX6) controlling development and cell differentiation of several tissues in humans. Classification of TALE homeobox gene expression patterns for the hematopoietic compartment, termed TALE-code, has revealed exclusive IRX1 activity in pro-B-cells and megakaryocyte erythroid progenitors (MEPs), highlighting its specific contribution to developmental processes at these early stages of hematopoietic lineage differentiation. Moreover, aberrant expression of IRX homeobox genes IRX1, IRX2, IRX3 and IRX5 has been detected in hematopoietic malignancies, including B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), T-cell ALL, and some subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expression analyses of patient samples and experimental studies using cell lines and mouse models have revealed oncogenic functions in cell differentiation arrest and upstream and downstream genes, thus, revealing normal and aberrant regulatory networks. These studies have shown how IRX genes play key roles in the development of both normal blood and immune cells, and hematopoietic malignancies. Understanding their biology serves to illuminate developmental gene regulation in the hematopoietic compartment, and may improve diagnostic classification of leukemias in the clinic and reveal new therapeutic targets and strategies.
