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

backgroundAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. We previously discovered that heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) is crucial for chemoresistance in AML, but the detailed molecular mechanism of that remains unclear.

methodsRNA sequencing was conducted to assess transcriptomic changes in three pairs of AML cells after regulating the expression of HO1. The molecular mechanism by which HO1 induces gilteritinib resistance in FLT3-ITD (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD)) AML was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), CCK-8, flow cytometry, and western blotting. FLT3-ITD AML mouse models were established to investigate the effects of HO1 expression on gilteritinib resistance in vivo.

resultsIn these three pairs of AML cells, we discovered that HO1-mediated drug resistance is connected to the interleukin-4-mediated signaling pathway (specifically STAT6) only in MV4-11 cells with the FLT3-ITD mutation. Further findings revealed that HO1 overexpression confers gilteritinib resistance in FLT3-ITD AML cell lines and primary individual specimens. While suppression of HO1 sensitized FLT3-ITD AML cell lines and primary individual specimens to gilteritinib. Mechanistically, western blotting and flow cytometry confirmed that HO1-mediated gilteritinib resistance is related to STAT6 phosphorylation in FLT3-ITD AML cell lines and primary individual specimens. Moreover, tumor-bearing mice were employed to determine that HO1 overexpression conferred gilteritinib resistance in vivo.

conclusionsCollectively, these studies illustrate that HO1 may act as a successful treatment target for gilteritinib-resistant FLT3-ITD AML patients.
