Evaluation of biomarkers for intestinal damage in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Intestinal damage (ID) leads to bacterial translocation and bloodstream infections-the common cause of non-relapse mortality in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study evaluated ID over ALL induction and the significance of body mass index (BMI) for its development and identified biomarkers reflecting chemotherapy-induced ID. The composite biomarker panel included 37 plasma amino acids, urea, ammonia, fecal calprotectin (fCLP), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), C-reactive protein, and albumin. We prospectively assessed 45 children treated according to the ALLTogether protocol in 2020-2024. Analysis and sample collection were performed on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29 of the protocol. The obtained values were compared between the ID and non-ID groups. 40% of patients (18/45) had grade I-III ID which was more pronounced on day 22 of induction when the ANC increased from its lowest point. Age younger than 5.5 years at a diagnosis was a significant prognostic factor for ID. Decreasing BMI and concentrations of citrulline, taurine, cystine, phosphoethanolamine, A-aminobutyric acid, B-alanine, and albumin suggest progressive ID in children treated due to ALL. No difference in ANC and fCLP was found between patients with and without ID, but fCLP levels start to rise simultaneously as the most intense ID is observed. In conclusion, assessing nutritional status and prospective evaluation of biomarkers may provide valuable information on treatment-related ID.
