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

Despite recent advances in the understanding of the genomic landscape of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pedAML), targeted treatments are only available for selected genomic alterations, and the functional link between genotype and outcome remains partially elusive. Functional precision medicine approaches to investigate treatment resistance and patient risk have not been applied systematically for pedAML. Here, we describe an advanced functional screening platform combining high-content imaging and deep learning-based phenotyping. In 45 patients with pedAML, we identify BCL2 and FLT3 inhibitors and standard chemotherapy as major drivers of the chemosensitivity landscape, reveal substantial differential sensitivities between risk groups, and may effectively predict individual measurable residual disease and patient risk. Integration with genomic and epigenomic data uncovers a chemotherapy-resistant primitive state vulnerable to combined BCL2 and MDM2 inhibition and HDAC inhibition. Overall, we identify early signatures of therapy resistance across genetic subgroups and prioritize targeted treatments for these functionally and epigenetically defined patient subsets.
