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: Most previous studies have focused on the intrinsic carcinogenic pathways of tumors; however, little is known about the potential role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). To better diagnose and treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we sought to examine the correlation between m6A regulatory factors and immune infiltration in cases of AML. At the same time, a prognostic model was constructed to predict the survival of AML. Methods: We extracted data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, including ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) transcriptome data and data on the corresponding clinical characteristics of AML patients. We identified two m6A modification patterns with distinct clinical outcomes and found a significant relationship between them. Simultaneous discovery of distinct m6A clusters associated with the tumor immune microenvironment [immune cell types and Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE) algorithm] are closely related. Next, we implemented Lasso (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) Cox regression to build a predictive model in the 2-m6A regulator TCGA dataset to further explore m6A prognostic features in AML, and perform correlation validation. Results: We identified 2 molecular subtypes (Clusters 1 and 2) by the consistent clustering of significant m6A regulators in AML. Cluster 2 was associated with a higher immune score and obvious immune cell infiltration, and thus patients in Cluster 2 had a poorer prognosis than those in Cluster 1 (P<0.05). Additionally, the 2 m6A-related signatures representing the independent prognostic factors in AML were screened to construct a prognostic risk-score model. We found that patients with low-risk scores had higher immune scores than those with high-risk scores (P<0.05). Conclusions: Our research confirmed that m6A methylation plays an important role in AML. Further provide new directions for the prognosis and treatment of AML.
