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 transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8), as a member of the IRF family, is essential for myeloid cell differentiation. However, the precise role of IRF8 in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unknown. By using multivariate analysis, we discovered that high IRF8 expression was an independent poor predictor of overall survival (OS) in AML patients from our clinical follow-up study. The proliferation of three AML cell lines was significantly inhibited by shRNA-mediated knockdown of IRF8, owing to cell cycle S-phase arrest. Furthermore, we demonstrated that knocking down IRF8 could suppress the expression of CyclinA and CyclinB1, resulting in a shift in cell cycle distribution. Loss of IRF8 in AML cells decreased the expression of STAT3 and phosphor-STAT3 (pSTAT3), which are key factors in JAK/STAT signal pathway and are important for AML progression. Using a xenograft mouse model, we discovered the antiproliferative effect of losing IRF8 in vivo. In conclusion, this study found that IRF8 may play a prognostic factor and therapeutic target in AML.
