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

purposeTo explore the expression and prognostic significance of Hedgehog signaling transcription factor GLI-1 in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.

methodsClinical specimens were obtained from 46 recently diagnosed AML patients. Real-time qPCR was used to measure the GLI-1 mRNA expression in bone marrow mononuclear cells.Also, the relationship between GLI-1 mRNA levels and clinical variables and prognostic variables was assessed.

resultsGLI-1 was overexpressed in the bone marrow samples of our patients. GLI-1mRNA expression did not differ significantly across different age groups, between both sexes, or between different FAB subtypes (P = 0.882, P = 0.246, and P = 0.890, respectively). GLI-1 expression varied significantly in different risk categories, with the greatest levels observed in 11 patients with poor risk (24.6 versus 22.7) compared to intermediate risk (5.2 versus 3.9; P = 0.006) and favorable risk (4.2 versus 3; P = 0.001). Comparing patients with the wild FLT3 allele to those with the mutant one, GLI-1 gene levels were considerably greater in those with the mutant allele of FLT3.Following induction chemotherapy, the levels of GLI-1 mRNA were significantly higher in 22 patients who did not experience complete remission (CR) diagnosed with de novo non-acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) compared to 17 patients who did (P = 0.017). Significantly greater levels of expression were observed in each category of the patients with favorable risk; wild FLT3 allele (P = 0.033) and CR failure P = 0.005).

conclusionGLI-1 overexpression is a risk factor for poor prognosis and could be a novel therapeutic target for AML.
