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: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a kind of malignant blood tumor, which is prone to drug resistance and relapse. This study aimed to identify novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for CML. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained by differential analysis of the CML cohort in the GEO database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify CML-related co-expressed genes. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to screen hub genes and construct a risk score model based on hub genes. Consensus clustering algorithm was used for the identification of molecular subtypes. Clinical samples and Results: A total of 378 DEGs were identified by differential analysis. 369 CML-related genes were identified by WGCNA analysis, which were mainly enriched in metabolism-related signaling pathways. In addition, CML-related genes are mainly involved in immune regulation and anti-tumor immunity, suggesting that CML has some immunodeficiency. Immune infiltration analysis confirmed the reduced infiltration of immune killer cells such as CD8+ T cells in CML samples. 6 hub genes (LINC01268, NME8, DMXL2, CXXC5, SCD and FBN1) were identified by LASSO regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve confirmed the high diagnostic value of the hub genes in the analysis and validation cohorts, and the risk score model further improved the diagnostic accuracy. hub genes were also associated with cell proliferation, cycle, and metabolic pathway activity. Two molecular subtypes, Cluster A and Cluster B, were identified based on hub gene expression. Cluster B has a lower risk score, higher levels of CD8+ T cell and activated dendritic cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint expression, and is more sensitive to commonly used tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Finally, our clinical samples validated the expression and diagnostic efficacy of hub genes, and the knockdown of LINC01268 inhibited the proliferation of CML cells, and promoted apoptosis. Conclusion: Through WGCNA analysis and LASSO regression analysis, our study provides a new target for CML diagnosis and treatment, and provides a basis for further CML research.
