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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators in Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML, affecting gene expression, including that of CD markers and impacting mutations within leukemic cells. Mutations in AML can alter miRNA profiles, which can affect the expression of CD markers and contribute to disease progression by influencing cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Here, we examined the interplay of cell surface protein expression (CD markers), DNA mutations, and microRNA expression in AML patients. We included 32 recently diagnosed AML patients, and CD marker expression was evaluated using flow cytometry and molecular techniques. This study aims to delve into this relationship within the context of AML, elucidating its potential implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic interventions. Mutations were scrutinized in six patients using Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES), while quantitative PCR (qPCR) was employed to investigate the expression levels of nine microRNAs. Subsequently, a comprehensive interaction network was constructed using Cytoscape software, focusing on genes with significant mutations and their corresponding microRNAs. Cell surface protein expression analysis revealed upregulation of CD45, CD99, CD34, HLA-DR, CD38, CD13, CD33, MPO, CD15 and CD117 in AML patients. The molecular analysis results unveiled mutations in specific genes (FLT3, KIT, PTPN11, BCR, DNMT3A, and NRAS) targeted by nine microRNAs. Notably, eight microRNAs exhibited heightened expression levels. Network analysis highlighted interactions between the PTPN11 gene and six scrutinized microRNAs. Understanding the regulatory dynamics between gene mutations and microRNAs in AML patients is pivotal for unraveling the disease's molecular mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic targets. Further exploration into the functional roles of microRNAs in gene regulation and AML pathogenesis is warranted to validate their potential as therapeutic targets, diagnostic markers, and advanced treatment strategies.
