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

Single-cell transcriptome profiling enables unparalleled characterization of the heterogeneous microenvironment of pediatric leukemias. To facilitate comparative analyses and generate pediatric leukemia signatures, we collect, process, and annotate single-cell data comprising over 540,000 cells from 159 different pediatric acute leukemia (myeloid, lymphoid, mixed phenotype lineages) and healthy bone marrow (BM) samples, profiled in our lab and curated from publicly available studies. The analysis identifies a leukemia-enriched signature of nine genes with over-expression in leukemic blast compared to healthy BM cells. This signature is also consistently over-expressed in leukemia samples compared to normal BM in bulk RNA-seq datasets (over 2000 samples). Outcome-based analysis on diagnosis samples using measurable residual disease (MRD) status depicts a significant association of oncogene-induced senescence and g-protein activation pathways with MRD positivity. MRD positivity across pediatric leukemias is also correlated with significant depletion of CD8+ and CD4+ naïve T-cells and M1-macrophages at diagnosis. To enable easy access to this comprehensive pediatric leukemia single-cell atlas, we develop the Pediatric Single-cell Cancer Atlas (PedSCAtlas, https://bhasinlab.bmi.emory.edu/PediatricSCAtlas/ ). The atlas allows for quick exploration of single-cell data based on genes, cell type composition, and clinical outcomes to understand the cellular landscape of pediatric leukemias.
