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

Currently, chemotherapy remains the primary treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Drug resistance in AML cells is a critical factor contributing to the failure of chemotherapy remission and subsequent relapse. Iron overload frequently occurs in AML patients because of hematopoietic suppression or supportive blood transfusion therapy. Previous studies have indicated that iron overload may promote the progression of AML; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our results demonstrate that, compared with TP53-wild-type AML cells, TP53-mutant AML cells exhibit increased resistance to cytarabine-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, reducing TP53 expression in wild-type AML cells diminishes their sensitivity to cytarabine. The TP53 signaling pathway is essential for mediating cytarabine-induced apoptosis in AML cells. In this study, an iron overload model in AML cells via the use of ferric citrate is constructed. Our data indicate that iron overload can suppress the TP53/BCL2/BAX signaling pathway, counteracting cytarabine-induced apoptosis. In TP53 wild-type AML cells, TFR1 participates in iron-mediated resistance to cytarabine by regulating the entry of iron into the cells. These findings provide a foundation for further exploration of the molecular mechanisms involved in AML resistance to cytarabine.
