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

RUNX1A is the shortest and least expressed of the RUNX1 three main isoforms (A, B, C); despite this, the leukemogenic role of its overexpression has been clearly described. Several studies have shown RUNX1A involvement in different blood cancers and pilot observations in acute leukemia have been reported. In this context, we evaluated RUNX1 isoforms expression in a cohort of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, finding overexpression of RUNX1A and RUNX1B, with higher median levels in thrombocytopenic cases. No difference was observed for RUNX1C. RUNX1A overexpression is higher in more immature AML phenotypes. According to the mutational profile, FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) positive cases have the highest RUNX1A levels and the presence of FLT3-ITD was the only molecular variable able to influence RUNX1A expression. RUNX1A overexpression is disease-related, associated with a specific transcriptional profile, and reappears at relapse, with no clear kinetics except in FLT3-ITD cases. Overall, we demonstrate RUNX1A overexpression in AML and its association with the FLT3-ITD molecular subtype. Our data shed light on the dark side of RUNX1 deregulation, paving the way for further investigations.
