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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive cancer with very poor outcomes. To identify additional drivers of leukemogenesis, we analyzed sequencing data from 1,727 unique individual patients with AML, which revealed mutations in ubiquitin ligase family genes in 11.2% of samples from adult patients with AML with mutual exclusivity. The SKP1/CUL1/F-box (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex gene, FBXO11, was the most significantly downregulated gene of the SCF complex in AML. We found that FBXO11 interacts with and catalyzes K63-linked ubiquitination of LONP1 in the cytosol, to promote LONP1 entry into mitochondria. We show that depletion of FBXO11 or LONP1 reduced mitochondrial respiration through impaired LONP1 chaperone activity to assemble electron transport chain Complex IV. Reduced mitochondrial respiration secondary to FBXO11 or LONP1 depletion imparted myeloid-biased stem cell properties in primary CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in vitro. In a human xenograft model, depletion of FBXO11 cooperated with AML1-ETO and mutant KRASG12D to generate serially transplantable AML. Our findings suggest that reduced FBXO11 cooperates to initiate AML by priming HSPC for myeloid-biased self renewal through attenuation of LONP1-mediated regulation of mitochondrial respiration.
