Increased Expression of NOTCH-1 and T Helper Cell Transcription Factors in Patients with Acquired Aplastic Anemia.
Article in Iranian biomedical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Acquired aplastic anemia is an autoimmune disease in which auto-aggressive T cells destroy hematopoietic progenitors. T-cell differentiation is controlled by transcription factors that interact with NOTCH-1, which influences the respective T-cell lineages. Notch signaling also regulates the BM microenvironment. The present study aimed to assess the gene expressions of NOTCH-1 and T helper cell transcription factors in the acquired aplastic anemia patients. Methods: Using quantitative real-time PCR, we studied the mRNA expression level for NOTCH-1, its ligands (DLL-1 and JAG-1), and T helper cell transcription factors (T-BET, GATA-3, and ROR-γt) in both PB and BM of aAA patients and healthy controls. Further, patients of aplastic anemia were stratified by their disease severity as per the standard criteria. Results: The mRNA expression level of NOTCH-1, T-BET, GATA-3, and ROR-γT genes increased in aAA patients compared to healthy controls. There was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of Notch ligands between patients and controls. The mRNA expression level of the above-mentioned genes was found to be higher in SAA and VSAA than NSAA patients. In addition, NOTCH-1 and T helper cell-specific transcription factors enhanced in aAA. We also observed a significant correlation between the genes and hematological parameters in patients. Conclusion: The interaction between NOTCH-1, T-BET, GATA-3, and ROR-γT might lead to the activation, proliferation, and polarization of T helper cells and subsequent BM destruction. The mRNA expression levels of genes varied with disease severity, which may contribute to pathogenesis of aAA.
