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

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic malignancy with poor outcomes and high recurrence. Disulfidptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death driven by aberrant disulfide bonds and F-actin collapse, provides insights into cancer progression and treatment. Methods: We investigated the correlation network and prognostic values of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) in AML. Unsupervised clustering was performed to reveal distinct disulfidptosis-related AML subtypes. We implemented the differential analysis and enrichment analysis to explore the difference of the distinct subtypes in biological processes. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox model was used to generate a disulfidptosis-related signature. We employed the ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, and scRNA analyses to assess the tumor microenvironment of AML. Moreover, experiments validated the functions of PTPN6 and CSK in OCI-AML2 cells. Results: We identified 10 prognostic DRGs and revealed two disulfidptosis subtypes. DRGs significantly affected immune processes like interferon-gamma response and MHC class II antigen presentation. LASSO algorithm was implemented to established a 6-gene signature (HLA-DRB5, CCDC124, PTPN6, HLA-DMA, CSK, ISG15) that predicted prognosis in two validation cohorts more robustly than other signatures. Disulfidptosis was correlated with tumor microenvironment immune cells, especially monocytes. The two risk subgroups differed significantly in susceptibilities of multiple chemotherapy drugs, indicating disulfidptosis as a potential therapeutic target. Knockdown of PTPN6 and CSK inhibited the proliferation of AML cells and increased apoptosis. Conclusions: Our study provides insights into DRG prognoses and immunomodulation, establishing a robust 6-gene risk model for predicting AML outcomes that may enhance precision medicine and treatment strategies.
