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

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with limited treatment options and a high demand for novel targeted therapies. Since myeloid-related protein S100A9 is abundantly expressed in AML, we aimed to unravel the therapeutic impact and underlying mechanisms of targeting both intracellular and extracellular S100A9 protein in AML cell lines and primary patient samples. S100A9 silencing in AML cell lines resulted in increased apoptosis and reduced AML cell viability and proliferation. These therapeutic effects were associated with a decrease in mTOR and endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling. Comparable results on AML cell proliferation and mTOR signaling could be observed using the clinically available S100A9 inhibitor tasquinimod. Interestingly, while siRNA-mediated targeting of S100A9 affected both extracellular acidification and mitochondrial metabolism, tasquinimod only affected the mitochondrial function of AML cells. Finally, we found that S100A9-targeting approaches could significantly increase venetoclax sensitivity in AML cells, which was associated with a downregulation of BCL-2 and c-MYC in the combination group compared to single agent therapy. This study identifies S100A9 as a novel molecular target to treat AML and supports the therapeutic evaluation of tasquinimod in venetoclax-based regimens for AML patients.
