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

Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are a small yet powerful subset of leukemic cells that possess the ability to self-renew and have a long-term tumorigenic capacity, playing a crucial role in both leukemia development and therapy resistance. These LSCs are influenced by external and internal factors within the bone marrow niche. By delving into the intricate interplay between LSCs and their immune environment, we can pave the way for innovative immunotherapies that target both the malignant stem cells and the suppressive immune microenvironment, addressing both the "seed" and the "soil" simultaneously. Through the analysis of public datasets and patient samples, we show that elevated IL1RL1 expression correlates with poor prognosis and therapy resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). At the core of this process, stem cell leukemogenesis initiation and maintenance signals are driven by a stress-induced IL-33/IL1RL1 autocrine loop. This LSC-induced IL-33/IL1RL1 signaling fosters an immune regulatory microenvironment. Therefore, IL1RL1 emerges as a promising therapeutic target, with IL1RL1-specific T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies holding great potential as cutting-edge immunotherapeutics for AML.
