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

Sphingolipid, ceramide for example, plays an essential role in regulating cancer cell death. Defects in the generation and metabolism of ceramide in cancer cells contribute to tumor cell survival and resistance to chemotherapy. Ceramide Transfer Protein (CERT) determines the ratio of ceramide and sphingomyelin in cells. Targeting CERT sensitizes solid cancer cells to chemotherapy. However, whether targeting CERT to induce ceramide accumulation thereby improving AML therapy efficiency remains elusive. Here, we show that knocking down CERT inhibits the growth and promotes the apoptosis of AML cells carrying FLT3-ITD mutation. Combining CERT inhibitor with FLT3 inhibitor exhibits synergistic effects on FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Additionally, co-treatment of HPA-12 and Crenolanib is effective in FLT3-ITD
