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

Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (relAML) remains a clinical challenge. We have shown that epigenetic heterogeneity may contribute to transcriptional dysregulation and disease progression in AML, but the specific aberrant transcriptional programs have not been identified. We analyzed molecular profiles from patient-matched diagnostic and relapse AML specimens. A subset of differentially expressed genes (DEG) that were disparate in direction of expression change identified 2 patient subtypes. We predicted that transcriptional regulators (TR) might regulate the expression patterns observed. The expression patterns of the top TR predicted for the disparate genes associated with clinical outcomes. The top TR predicted for the disparate DEG and DEG identified in a patient-derived xenograft model of relAML included members of the LIM domain only 2 - LIM domain binding 1 - TAL BHLH TF1, erythroid differentiation factor (LMO2-LDB1-TAL1) multisubunit complex (LTMC). Analysis of DepMap data identified LMO2-dependent cells with a subset highly expressing TAL1, suggesting coordinated regulation. TAL1 copurified in immunoprecipitation for LMO2 and LDB1 followed by tandem mass spectrometry analysis in HEL and K562 cells, and results from chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments suggest significant co-occupancy of TAL1 and LDB1. Loss-of-function experiments targeting LMO2, LDB1, and TAL1 in AML cell lines associated with reduced cell growth, downregulation of cell cycle genes, and a negative association with gene expression patterns observed in relapsed patients with increased TAL1 expression. Our results from primary AML specimens and functional analyses of AML cell lines supports an essential role for the LTMC in AML. Targeting the complex or downstream effectors could provide novel therapeutic considerations for a subset of patients with AML.
