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

The transcriptional mediator LIM domain only 2 (LMO2) forms a large multi-protein complex together with TAL1/LYL1, HEB/ E2A, LDB1 and GATA. This complex regulates transcription from the onset of hematopoietic development and during differentiation. Chromosomal re-arrangements involving LMO2 and TAL1 are causative for T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). We have identified Plant Homeodomain (PHD)-like Finger 6 (PHF6) as a new LMO2-interacting factor. Somatic mutations in PHF6 have been found to occur in several types of leukemia. We show that PHF6 interacts with LMO2 as a part of the TAL1, GATA2, LDB1 complex in T-ALL and binds to the DNA. These findings show that PHF6 associates with the TAL1/LMO2/LDB1/ GATA2 complex and regulates genes that have a major role in blood development, such as SPI1 (PU.1).
