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

Recent extensive studies on the genomic and molecular profiles of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have expanded the treatment options, including, a range of compounds represented by fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 inhibitors. However, despite this progress, further treatments for AML are still required. Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) has been shown to play an important oncogenic role in many cancers, but its involvement in AML progression remains underexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that ADAR1 was overexpressed in AML and served as a crucial oncogenic target. Loss of ADAR1 inhibited the Wnt signaling pathway, blocked AML cell proliferation, and induced apoptosis. Importantly, we demonstrate that ADAR1, as an RNA-binding protein, interacts with pri-miR-766 independently of its editing function, regulating the maturation of miR-766-3p and enhancing the expression of WNT5B. Genetic inhibition or use of the ADAR1 inhibitor ZYS-1 significantly suppressed AML cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Overall, these results elucidated the tumorigenic mechanism of ADAR1 and validated it as a potential drug target in AML.
