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

ITK-SYK and TEL-SYK (also known as ETV6-SYK) are human tumor-causing chimeric proteins containing the kinase region of SYK, and the membrane-targeting, N-terminal, PH-TH domain-doublet of ITK or the dimerizing SAM-PNT domain of TEL, respectively. ITK-SYK causes peripheral T cell lymphoma, while TEL-SYK was reported in myelodysplastic syndrome. BTK is a kinase highly related to ITK and to further delineate the role of the N-terminus, we generated the corresponding fusion-kinase BTK-SYK. By generating and analyzing these fusion kinases, we aim to understand the contribution of N-terminal domains to their distinct cellular behavior and oncogenic properties. The fusion kinases were found to behave differently. TEL-SYK showed stronger oncogenic capacity when compared with ITK-SYK and BTK-SYK. Furthermore, ITK-SYK and BTK-SYK triggered IL-3-independent growth of BAF3 pro-B cells. In contrast to BTK-SYK and TEL-SYK, which predominantly localized in perinuclear region and cytoplasm respectively, ITK-SYK exhibits a more diverse cellular distribution, being present in the nucleus, cytoplasm and membrane-bound compartments. Notably, we observed that ITK-SYK undergoes activation-mediated nuclear translocation, a phenomenon that is uncommon among kinases. This unique feature of ITK-SYK is therefore of particular interest due to its potential connection to its transforming capability.
