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

Erythroid acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line OCI-M2 expresses a particular oncogenic network: IRF6, in concert with ETV2 and HEY1, aberrantly activates NKL homeobox gene NKX2-4, which in turn represses megakaryocytic lineage factor FLI1. Interestingly, in keratinocytes, IRF6 is able to bind glucose which promotes IRF6-dimerization and thus alters its binding site selection. Here, we used OCI-M2 as a model to investigate the role of glucose level and IRF6 in leukemogenesis. Treatment of OCI-M2 with high glucose or 2-deoxy-glucose resulted in the downregulation of IRF6 and NKX2-4, and the upregulation of FLI1, indicating that glucose-mediated dimerization of IRF6 altered its reported autoactivation. The screening of this cell line for genes encoding glycolytic enzymes identified aberrant overexpression of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) and phosphofructokinase L (PFKL), which were targeted by genomic amplification and chromothripsis-like alterations, respectively. Furthermore, GPI was activated by NKX2-4 and ETV2, and PFKL by ETV2. Finally, siRNA-mediated downregulation of PFKL resulted in elevated glucose levels, suppressed expression of IRF6 and NKX2-4, and activated FLI1. Thus, we connected an oncogenic regulatory network with deregulated glycolytic enzymes and glucose metabolism, thereby establishing a new in vitro model to develop novel therapeutic avenues in AML subsets.
