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

Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a significant role in the progression and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study is aimed at exploring TME-associated biomarkers and identify their potential mechanism in the microenvironment of AML. Method: In this study, the stromal, immune, and ESTIMATE scores of AML patients were evaluated with the ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithms; then, the AML samples were divided into high- and low-score groups. We evaluated the association between clinicopathological characteristics, survival rate, and the stromal/immune/ESTIMATE scores. Furthermore, we identified TME-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) then carried out pathway enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Cox regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to select the most crucial genes. In addition, we further explored the potential mechanism of HCK in the AML microenvironment. Results: We identified 624 TME-associated DEGs and found that HCK was the most promising biomarker associated with AML. The results of the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated that HCK was mainly involved in immune and inflammation-related signaling pathways. In addition, CIBERSORT analysis showed that HCK was closely related to tumor immune infiltration, with HCK expression associated with various infiltrating immune cells, including B cells, T cells, tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), NK cells, plasma cells, eosinophils, and neutrophils. Furthermore, HCK expression was closely related with ELN risk stratification in patients with AML. Conclusion: HCK could regulate immune cell infiltration in the microenvironment of AML and may act as a potential biomarker for the treatment and prognosis of AML patients.
