The prognostic role of C-KIT, TET1 and TET2 gene expression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
aimwas to assess the role of C-KIT, TET1 and TET2 expression in the diagnosis and prognosis of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML).
methodsThe expression levels of C-KIT, TET1 and TET2 were assessed in the bone marrow (BM) aspirate of 152 AML patients compared to 20 healthy control using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Data were correlated with the clinico-pathological features of the patients, response to treatment, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) rates.
resultsC-KIT, TET1 and TET2 were significantly upregulated in AML patients [0.25 (0-11.6), 0.0113 (0-3.301), and 0.07 (0-4); respectively], compared to the control group [0.013 (0.005-0.250), P < 0.001, 0.001 (0-0.006), P < 0.001, and 0.02 (0.008-0.055), P = 0.019; respectively]. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under curve of of C-KIT were (48.7%, 100%, 0.855; respectively, P = 0.001), and that of TET1 were (63.4%, 100%, 0.897; respectively, P = 0.001), while that of TET2 were (56.8%, 100%, 0.766; respectively, P = 0.019). When combining the three markers, the sensitivity was 77.5%, however it reached the highest sensitivity (78.6%) and specificity (100%) when combining both c-KIT + TET1 together for the diagnosis of AML. C-KIT overexpression associated with shorter DFS (P = 0.05) and increased incidence of relapse (P = 0.019). Lymph nodes involvement [HR = 2.200, P = 0.005] is an independent risk factor for shorter OS rate of AML patients. Increased BM blast % [HR = 7.768, P = 0.002], and FLT3-ITD mutation [HR = 2.989, P = 0.032] are independent risk factors for shorter DSF rate of the patients.
conclusionC-KIT, TET1, and TET2 could be used as possible useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of AML.
