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

The homeobox transcription factors HoxA9 and Meis1 are causally involved in the etiology of acute myeloid leukemia. While HoxA9 alone immortalizes cells, cooperation with Meis1 is necessary to induce a full leukemic phenotype. Here, we applied degron techniques to elucidate the leukemogenic contribution of Meis1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that Meis1 localized mainly to H3K27 acetylated and H3K4 mono-methylated enhancers preactivated by HoxA9. Chromatin association of Meis1 required physical presence of HoxA9 and all Meis1 DNA interactions were rapidly lost after HoxA9 degradation. Meis1 controlled a gene expression pattern dominated by Myc, ribosome biogenesis and ribosomal RNA synthesis genes. While Myc accounted for the cell cycle stimulating effect of Meis1, overexpression of this oncogene alone did not accelerate leukemogenesis. Besides its effect on Myc, Meis1 induced transcription of ribosomal biogenesis genes. This was accompanied by an elevated resistance against inhibition of ribosomal RNA synthesis and translation, but without affecting steady-state protein synthesis. Finally, we demonstrate that HoxA9 and Meis1 proteins are stabilized by post-translational modification. Mutation of HoxA9/Meis1 phosphorylation sites or inhibition of casein kinase 2 lead to rapid protein degradation suggesting a potential pathway for pharmacological intervention.
