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

Arabinocytosine (AraC, also known as cytarabine) is one of the mainstays of AML therapy, but like other DNA damaging therapeutic agents it is rarely curative by itself. There is an emerging realization that the therapeutic outcomes may be improved by combining AraC with other compounds. Here we report that the addition of a differentiating agent combination immediately following AraC damage to AML blasts, selectively increases the cell kill. The experiments were performed using cultured cells from established cell lines of AML (HL60 and U937). The cells were exposed to 100nM AraC, a concentration which produced approximately 25-50% cell kill, followed by a combination of 100nM 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D2 (1-D2) and 10μM carnosic acid (CA), which together can serve as a powerful differentiating agent combination for AML cells, but are not toxic alone. AraC-induced cell death, measured by annexin V/propidium iodide, was significantly (p<0.01) increased by the 1-D2/CA combination in both cell lines, but not by 1-D2 or CA alone. The enhancement of cell death occurred by both apoptosis and necrosis, was associated with increased DNA damage and with higher levels of DNA damage response (DDR) activated marker Chk1, but the expression of p27, a cell cycle inhibitor protein, was not enhanced by 1-D2/CA. The principal finding is that a vitamin D analog 1-D2 combined with a plant-derived antioxidant CA can markedly augment the cytotoxic action of AraC, an anti-leukemia therapeutic agent.
