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

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloid proliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by bone marrow fibrosis. Pre-fibrotic PMF (pre-PMF) progresses to overt PMF. Megakaryocytes play a primary role in PMF; however, the functions of megakaryocyte subsets and those of other hematopoietic cells during PMF progression remain unclear. We, therefore, analyzed bone marrow aspirates in cases of pre-PMF, overt PMF, and other MPN using single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified 14 cell types with subsets, including hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) and megakaryocytes. HSPC in overt PMF were megakaryocyte-biased and inflammation/fibrosis-enriched. Among megakaryocytes, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-enriched subset was abruptly increased in overt PMF. Megakaryocytes in non-fibrotic/non-PMF MPN were megakaryocyte differentiation-enriched, whereas those in fibrotic/non-PMF MPN were inflammation/fibrosis-enriched. Overall, the inflammation/fibrosis signatures of the HSPC, megakaryocyte, and CD14+ monocyte subsets increased from pre-PMF to overt PMF. Cytotoxic and dysfunctional scores also increased in T and NK cells. Clinically, megakaryocyte and HSPC subsets with high inflammation/fibrosis signatures were frequent in the patients with peripheral blood blasts ≥1%. Single-cell RNA-sequencing predicted higher cellular communication of megakaryocyte differentiation, inflammation/fibrosis, immunological effector/dysfunction, and tumor-associated signaling in overt PMF than in pre-PMF. However, no decisive subset emerged during PMF progression. Our study demonstrated that HSPC, monocytes, and lymphoid cells contribute to the progression of PMF, and subset specificity existed regarding inflammation/fibrosis and immunological dysfunction. PMF progression may depend on alterations of multiple cell types, and EMT-enriched megakaryocytes may be potential targets for diagnosing and treating the progression.
