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

Positive response to PD-1/PD-L1 blockades was observed in the treatment of solid tumors. However, the clinical response to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade varied in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is thought that there are factors other than PD-1 and PD-L1 that may affect the effect of immunotherapy. This study explored the impact of transcriptome-based co-expression of bromodomain containing 4 (BRD4) and PD-1/PD-L1 on the overall survival (OS) of patients with AML, in order to understand whether BRD4 would affect the effect of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades. Bone marrow samples from 59 AML patients in our clinical center and data of 176 patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used for OS analysis and validation. It was found that increased expression of BRD4 was associated with poor OS in AML patients. Moreover, co-expression of BRD4 with PD-1 or PD-L1 was related to poor OS. The co-expression of BRD4 and PD-L1 was better than BRD4 and PD-1 for OS prediction. Furthermore, co-expression of BRD4 and PD-L1 was positively correlated with high tumor mutation burden, which contributed to poor OS in AML patients. Additionally, the co-expression of BRD4 and PD-L1 was associated with poor OS in non-acute promyelocytic leukemia patients with intermediate/high risk or under 60 years. Our results suggest that transcriptome-based co-expression of BRD4 and PD-L1 is a predictor for poor OS in AML patients, which might provide novel insight into designing combinational targeted therapy for AML.
