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

objectiveCytokines produced by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are important components of the tumor microenvironment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The roles of IL-17 and IL-23 in both autoimmune diseases and tumor growth have been demonstrated. The role of the IL-17/23 axis in apoptosis has also been demonstrated in studies. Autoimmune cytopenias are common in CLL. In this study, we aimed to compare IL-17/IL-23 levels in early-stage CLL patients with healthy controls.

methodsAfter obtaining ethical approval from the local ethics committee, 22 patients with early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 21 healthy control groups were included in this study. IL-17 and IL-23 were analyzed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

resultsThe findings showed that the median IL-23 level was lower in men in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia group than women. There was a positive correlation between IL-17 and IL-23 levels in both the control group and the chronic lymphocytic leukemia group. There was no significant correlation between stage and IL-17 and IL-23 levels in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.

conclusionResults of studies conducted on IL-17 and/or IL-23 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the literature are not consistent. These inconsistent results can be explained by the fact that the immune system develops differently in each individual due to environmental factors, past infections, intestinal flora, vaccines, ethnicity, and even gender. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that the development and application of personalized immunotherapy strategies instead of standard therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia may increase therapeutic success rates.
