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

Transcription factors and their cofactors are major and selective nononcogene dependencies in multiple myeloma cells. By performing a gain-of-function perturbation screen in human multiple myeloma cell lines, we identified the inhibitor of DNA binding (ID) genes as putative suppressors of multiple myeloma cell fitness. Among them, ID2 was found to be downregulated in multiple myeloma patient cells and acted as a tumor suppressor by directly binding and repressing the basic helix-loop-helix factor TCF3, also known as E2A. Lower ID2 expression in multiple myeloma cells conferred a proliferative advantage by increasing TCF3 activity, leading to a dependency on this transcription factor. In contrast, ID2 overexpression reduced TCF3 binding to DNA, which resulted in cell-cycle arrest and a halt in multiple myeloma cell proliferation. The myeloma bone marrow milieu supported this process by further decreasing the expression of ID2 and enhancing TCF3 activity, partly via IL6, revealing a mechanism by which the tumor microenvironment affects multiple myeloma cell behavior. SIGNIFICANCE: Multiple myeloma cells exploit the oncogenic and proliferative potential of TCF3 by downregulating the transcriptional regulator ID2, a process facilitated by the bone marrow microenvironment.
