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

introductionPaediatric AML patients with hyperleukocytosis have a poor prognosis and higher early mortality. Therefore, more studies are needed to explore relevant prognostic indicators and develop effective prevention strategies for this type of childhood AML.

methodsAll original data were obtained from the TARGET database. First, we explored meaningful differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the hyperleukocytosis group and the non-hyperleukocytosis group. Next, we screened and identified valuable target genes using univariate Cox regression, Cytoscape software, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Finally, the coexpressed genes, functional networks, and immune-related activities associated with the target gene were deeply analysed by the GeneMANIA, LinkedOmics, GEPIA2021, TISIDB, and GSCA databases.

resultsWe selected 1229 DEGs between the hyperleukocytosis group and the non-hyperleukocytosis group in paediatric AML patients. Among them, 495 DEGs were significantly linked with the overall survival of paediatric AML patients. Further, we discovered that CX3CR1 was a promising target gene. Meanwhile, we identified CX3CR1 as an independent prognostic predictor. Besides, we showed that CX3CR1 had strong physical interactions with CX3CL1. Additionally, functional network analysis suggested that CX3CR1 and its coexpressed genes modulated immune response pathways. Subsequent analysis found that immune cells with a high median value of CX3CR1 were monocytes, resting NK cells and CD8 T cells. Finally, we observed that CX3CR1 expression correlated with infiltrating levels of immune cells and immune signatures.

conclusionElevated CX3CR1 expression may be an adverse prognostic indicator in paediatric AML patients undergoing hyperleukocytosis. Moreover, CX3CR1 may serve as an immunotherapeutic target for AML with hyperleukocytosis in children.
