Low doses of IFN-γ maintain self-renewal of leukemia stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia.
Article in Oncogene, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Conventional therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often fail to eliminate the disease-initiating leukemia stem cell (LSC) population, leading to disease relapse. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a known inflammatory cytokine that promotes antitumor responses. Here, we found that low serum IFN-γ levels correlated with a higher percentage of LSCs and greater relapse incidence in AML patients. Furthermore, IFNGR1 was overexpressed in relapsed patients with AML and associated with a poor prognosis. We showed that high doses (5-10 μg/day) of IFN-γ exerted an anti-AML effect, while low doses (0.01-0.05 μg/day) of IFN-γ accelerated AML development and supported LSC self-renewal in patient-derived AML-LSCs and in an LSC-enriched MLL-AF9-driven mouse model. Importantly, targeting the IFN-γ receptor IFNGR1 by using lentiviral shRNAs or neutralizing antibodies induced AML differentiation and delayed leukemogenesis in vitro and in mice. Overall, we uncovered essential roles for IFN-γ and IFNGR1 in AML stemness and showed that targeting IFNGR1 is a strategy to decrease stemness and increase differentiation in relapsed AML patients.
