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

Children diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (paediatric AML [pAML]) have limited treatment options and relapse rates due to chemoresistance and refractory disease are over 30%. Current treatment is cytotoxic and in itself has long-lasting harsh side effects. New, less toxic treatments are needed. The bone marrow microenvironment provides chemoprotection to leukaemic cells through cell communication and interaction with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but this is not well defined in pAML. Using primary patient material, we identify a cell contact-independent mechanism of MSC-mediated chemoprotection involving extrinsic soluble factors that is abrogated through inhibition of the JAK/STAT and ERK pathways.
