Prognostic role of chemokine-related genes in acute myeloid leukemia.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: Chemotactic cytokines play a crucial role in the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thus, investigating the mechanisms of chemotactic cytokine-related genes (CCRGs) in AML is of paramount importance. Methods: Using the TCGA-AML, GSE114868, and GSE12417 datasets, differential expression analysis identified differentially expressed CCRGs (DE-CCRGs). These genes were screened by overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between AML and control groups with CCRGs. Subsequently, functional enrichment analysis and the construction of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were conducted to explore the functions of the DE-CCRGs. Univariate Cox regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and multivariate Cox regression analyses identified relevant prognostic genes and developed a prognostic model. Survival analysis of the prognostic gene was performed, followed by functional similarity analysis, immune analysis, enrichment analysis, and drug prediction analysis. Results: Differential expression analysis revealed 6,743 DEGs, of which 29 DE-CCRGs were selected for this study. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that DE-CCRGs were primarily involved in chemotactic cytokine-related functions and pathways. Six prognostic genes (CXCR3, CXCR2, CXCR6, CCL20, CCL4, and CCR2) were identified and incorporated into the risk model. The model's performance was validated using the GSE12417 dataset. Survival analysis showed significant differences in AML overall survival (OS) between prognostic gene high and low expression groups, indicating that prognostic gene might be significantly associated with patient survival. Additionally, nine different immune cells were identified between the two risk groups. Correlation analysis revealed that CCR2 had the most significant positive correlation with monocytes and the most significant negative correlation with resting mast cells. The tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion score was lower in the high-risk group. Conclusion: CXCR3, CXCR2, CXCR6, CCL20, CCL4, and CCR2 were identified as prognostic genes correlated to AML and the tumor immune microenvironment. These findings offerred novel insights into the prevention and treatment of AML.
