Increased Co-Expression of PD-L1 and CTLA-4 Predicts Poor Overall Survival in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Article in ImmunoTargets and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: Our previous study has demonstrated that high expression of immune checkpoints (ICs) was significantly associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aims to investigate the significance of the alteration of IC co-expression for evaluating the prognosis of AML patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Patients and Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) data of bone marrow (BM) samples from 62 de novo AML patients, including 37 patients who received allo-HSCT and 25 patients who received chemotherapy only, were used for prognostic analysis. Results: High expression of PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, and LAG-3 was associated with poor overall survival (OS) in AML patients receiving allo-HSCT, while the expression levels of PD-1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, and LAG-3, other than PD-L1, were not significantly correlated with OS in AML patients receiving chemotherapy. Importantly, PD-L1/CTLA-4 was the best combination model for predicting poor OS in AML patients following allo-HSCT, especially combined with minimal residual disease (MRD). Conclusion: High expression of ICs in BM of AML patients following allo-HSCT was related to poor outcomes, and increasing co-expression of PD-L1 and CTLA-4 might be one of the best immune biomarkers to predict outcomes in patients with AML.
