Expression Levels of Il-6 and Il-18 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Its Relation with Response to Therapy and Acute GvHD After Bone Marrow Transplantation.

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.
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
Cytokines seem to play a crucial role in physiological and pathological conditions of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression levels of interleukins-6 (IL-6) and IL-18 in patients with AML and its correlation with response to therapy and graft versus host disease (GvHD) after bone marrow transplantation. The expression levels of IL-6 and IL-18 genes were done in all patients and compared with matched control. Complete remission (CR) was used for evaluation of the effects of these cytokines on response to treatment in patients group. The expression level of these cytokines was also evaluated in patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation and experienced acute GvHD in compare with patients without aGvHD. Il-6 gene expression level was significantly higher in these patients in comparison with control but Il-18 gene expression level was not statistically significant compared to control group. Il-6 and also Il-18 expression levels were significantly higher in patients without a response to treatment according to CR compared to patient's whit response to treatment as well as patients experienced aGvHD after bone marrow transplantation. IL-6 and Il-18 are important markers in the progression of the disease and could be considered as a prognostic marker in acute leukemia. It is recommended that more studies with larger study groups and more involved cytokines are needed for more evaluation of the cytokine roles in pathophysiology and progression of acute leukemia.
