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 success of arsenic in degrading PML-RARα oncoprotein illustrates the great anti-leukemia value of inorganics. Inspired by this, the therapeutic effect of inorganic selenium on t(8; 21) leukemia is studied, which has shown promising anti-cancer effects on solid tumors. A leukemia-targeting selenium nanomedicine is rationally built with bioengineered protein nanocage and is demonstrated to be an effective epigenetic drug for inducing the differentiation of t(8;21) leukemia. The selenium drug significantly induces the differentiation of t(8;21) leukemia cells into more mature myeloid cells. Mechanistic analysis shows that the selenium is metabolized into bioactive forms in cells, which drives the degradation of the AML1-ETO oncoprotein by inhibiting histone deacetylases activity, resulting in the regulation of AML1-ETO target genes. The regulation results in a significant increase in the expression levels of myeloid differentiation transcription factors PU.1 and C/EBPα, and a significant decrease in the expression level of C-KIT protein, a member of the type III receptor tyrosine kinase family. This study demonstrates that this protein-nanocaged selenium is a potential therapeutic drug against t(8;21) leukemia through epigenetic regulation.
