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

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting the BCR-ABL1 fusion tyrosine kinase have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). However, the development of TKI resistance and the subsequent transition from the chronic phase (CP) to blast crisis (BC) threaten patients with CML. Accumulating evidence suggests that translational control is crucial for cancer progression. Our high-throughput CRISPR-Cas9 screening identified poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) as a driver for CML progression in the BC stage. PABPC1 preferentially improved the translation efficiency of multiple leukaemogenic mRNAs with long and highly structured 5' untranslated regions by forming biomolecular condensates. Inhibiting PABPC1 significantly suppressed CML cell proliferation and attenuated disease progression, with minimal effects on normal haematopoiesis. Moreover, we identified two PABPC1 inhibitors that inhibited BC progression and overcame TKI resistance in murine and human CML. Overall, our work identifies PABPC1 as a selective translation enhancing factor in CML-BC, with its genetic or pharmacological inhibition overcoming TKI resistance and suppressed BC progression.
