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

We investigated the clinical and functional role of the miR-106a-363 cluster in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). LAML miRNA-Seq TCGA analyses revealed that high expression of miR-106a-363 cluster members was associated with inferior survival, and miR-106a-5p and miR-20b-5p levels were significantly elevated in patients with adverse risk AML. Overexpression of the miR-106a-363 cluster and its individual members in a murine AML model significantly accelerated leukemogenesis. Proteomics analysis of leukemic bone marrow cells from these models emphasized the deregulation of proteins involved in intracellular transport, protein complex organization and mitochondrial function, driven predominantly by miR-106a-5p. These molecular alterations suggested mitochondrial activation as a potential mechanism for the observed increase in leukemogenicity. High-resolution respirometry and STED microscopy confirmed that miR-106a-5p enhances mitochondrial respiratory activity and increases mitochondrial volume. These findings demonstrate that the miR-106a-363 cluster, and particularly miR-106a-5p, contribute to AML progression through modulation of mitochondrial function and deregulation of mitochondria-coordinated pathways.
