Expression of Th1/2/17 Cytokines in CML with or without Pulmonary Bacterial and Fungal Coinfection.
Review in Journal of oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). While their use greatly increases patient survival rates and can lead to normal life expectancy, bacterial infections in the lungs continue to play a significant role in determining patient outcomes. Methods: In this study, the medical records of 272 CML and 53 healthy adults were analyzed. Information on age, sex, body temperature, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and cytokine levels were collected from patients. Since the data belonged to a nonstate distribution, we used the Mann-Whitney Results: No significant differences in the Th1/2/17 levels were observed in relation to TKI treatment. Further analysis showed that the levels of the interleukins IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-22, IL-12p70, IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-1 Conclusions: TKI treatment did not appear to affect cytokine expression in CML patients. However, CML patients with pulmonary bacterial infection had significantly higher levels of Th1/2/17 cytokines. In particular, abnormally elevated IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 levels were associated with a pulmonary bacterial infection in patients with CML.
