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

We examined the role of SLFN12, a member of the Schlafen (SLFN) family of interferon-regulated genes and proteins in leukemogenesis, and its potential as a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We explored the effects of velcrins, a class of small molecules able to modulate SLFN12 biological activity, on AML cells. Velcrin treatment of AML cells stabilized SLFN12 and promoted SLFN12 complex formation with phosphodiesterase 3A or phosphodiesterase 3B. Such effects were associated with growth-inhibitory and proapoptotic responses, as well as potent suppressive effects on leukemic cell growth. In addition, velcrin treatment suppressed clonogenic capacity of primitive leukemic progenitors and significantly extended survival in a mouse AML xenograft model. Taken together, these findings establish an important role of SLFN12 in leukemogenesis and raise the potential for the use of velcrins as a therapeutic strategy for AML. SIGNIFICANCE: Our studies identify SLFN12 as a potential target in AML with important clinical-translational implications.
