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

RAS pathway mutations, which are present in 30% of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) at diagnosis, confer a high risk of resistance to and progression after hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy, the current standard of care for the disease. Here, using single-cell, multi-omics technologies, we seek to dissect the biological mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of RAS pathway-mutated CMML. We identify that RAS pathway mutations induce transcriptional reprogramming of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and downstream monocytic populations in response to cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic inflammatory signaling that also impair the functions of immune cells. HSPCs expand at disease progression after therapy with HMA or the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax and rely on the NF-κB pathway effector MCL1 to maintain survival. Our study has implications for the development of therapies to improve the survival of patients with RAS pathway-mutated CMML.
