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 hematological malignancy frequently exhibiting deregulated expression/activity/localization of the Wnt signaling mediator β-catenin. To derive more effective β-catenin targeting strategies, we previously interrogated its interaction network in myeloid cells and identified several putative novel interacting partners, including Target of EGR1 (TOE1); a deadenylase with unknown function in hematological tissue. This study aimed to define TOE1 function in hematopoietic cells and uncover its molecular targets. TOE1 interacted with β-catenin in both primary and immortalized AML cells, and impacted Wnt signaling output through the modulation of lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF-1). AML samples exhibited deregulated TOE1 expression versus normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), and TOE1 depletion suppressed the proliferation of myeloid leukemia cell lines, and primary human HSPCs, partly through a p21-activated-kinase 2 (PAK2) mediated mechanism. In summary, these data reveal TOE1 as a novel regulator of hematopoietic cell proliferation via the modulation of important growth-regulating pathways.
