Comprehensive analysis of mesenchymal cells reveals a dysregulated TGF-β/WNT/HOXB7 axis in patients with myelofibrosis.
Article in JCI insight, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Despite the advances in the understanding and treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), the disease remains incurable with the risk of evolution to acute myeloid leukemia or myelofibrosis (MF). Unfortunately, the evolution of the disease to MF remains poorly understood, impeding preventive and therapeutic options. Recent studies in solid tumor microenvironment and organ fibrosis have shed instrumental insights on their respective pathogenesis and drug resistance, yet such precise data are lacking in MPN. In this study, through a patient sample-driven transcriptomic and epigenetic description of the MF microenvironment landscape and cell-based analyses, we identify homeobox B7 (HOXB7) overexpression and more precisely a potentially novel TGF-β/WNT/HOXB7 pathway as associated to a pro-fibrotic and pro-osteoblastic biased differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Using gene-based and chemical inhibition of this pathway, we reversed the abnormal phenotype of MSCs from patients with MF, providing the MPN field a potentially novel target to prevent and manage evolution to MF.
