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

Hematopoietic homeostasis is maintained by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and it is tightly controlled at multiple levels to sustain the self-renewal capacity and differentiation potential of HSCs. Dysregulation of self-renewal and differentiation of HSCs leads to the development of hematologic diseases, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms of HSC maintenance and the development of hematologic malignancies is one of the fundamental scientific endeavors in stem cell biology. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a common modification in mammalian messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and plays important roles in various biological processes. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of the dynamics of the RNA m6A methylome of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and leukemia-initiating cells (LICs) in AML. We found that RNA m6A modification regulates the transition of long-term HSCs into short-term HSCs and determines the lineage commitment of HSCs. Interestingly, m6A modification leads to reprogramming that promotes cellular transformation during AML development, and LIC-specific m6A targets are recognized by different m6A readers. Moreover, the very long chain fatty acid transporter ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 2 (ABCD2) is a key factor that promotes AML development, and deletion of ABCD2 damages clonogenic ability, inhibits proliferation, and promotes apoptosis of human leukemia cells. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of m6A in regulating cell state transition in normal hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis, and identifies ABCD2 as a key factor in AML development.
