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

introductionIncreasing evidence has demonstrated that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play an important role in tumorigenesis and progression. PDC infiltration has been found in certain malignancies such as classic Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Our previous work reported that PDC infiltration could occur in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the clinical significance of PDC in AML has not been thoroughly investigated. PATIENTS AND

methodsHere, we evaluated the clinical significance of PDC to AML transition in a leukemia microenvironment. The frequency of PDCs in 80 acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AML-M4) and 83 acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5) patients was determined by flow cytometry.

resultsWe found 62 cases with PDC infiltration. These patients showed higher numbers of bone marrow blasts, higher mean Hb concentration, and required more cycles of chemotherapy before achieving complete remission (CR), but had lower white blood cell and platelet counts compared to patients without PDC infiltration. Drug sensitivity analysis showed that patients with PDC infiltration had lower sensitivity to standard chemotherapy regimens. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that patients with PDC infiltration had a shorter overall survival (OS) time and progression-free survival time. DISCUSSION: These results suggested that PDC infiltration can be used for risk stratification of AML-M4/M5, and PDCs may transdifferentiate into leukemia in an AML microenvironment.
