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

The immune microenvironment plays an important role in leukemia treatment. However, a specific single-cell profiling of the immune alteration in bone marrow of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients is still lacking. We performed multi-level single-cell sequencing to systematically decipher the bone marrow T cell atlas of CML patients. The results exhibited extensive changes of T cells, including the decreased CD4 T cells and increased CD8 T cells in the CML bone marrow. Subpopulation analysis revealed a significant increase of CD8 terminal effector (TE) cells and a significant decrease of CD4 naïve T cells. T cell receptor sequencing showed that the overall diversity of the T cell receptor repertoire was reduced in CML, with the exception of the CD8 TE cell. In addition, CD8 TE cells were the main source of gene expression differences in CD8 T cells. Intercellular communication analysis revealed the altered interaction between CD8 TE and other non-T cells in CML, including neutrophil subtype, indicating the potential regulation of bone marrow microenvironment cells on CD8 TE dynamics. Collectively, our work characterises the alteration of T cell subsets in CML patients at multiple single-cell levels, providing a valuable resource for understanding the immune microenvironment and developing new immune strategies for CML therapy.
