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

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous malignant hematologic cancer with poor clinical outcome. The presence of leukemia stem cells (LSC) is a significant factor contributing to the failure of AML treatments and frequent relapses. The quiescent and plastic nature of LSC decreases cell death under conventional chemotherapy. Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a critical role in the development and progression of various cancers including AML. We hypothesized that the expression of PCD gene in LSCs may predict the therapeutic outcome of AML patients in the clinic. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the expression of PCD gene and identified the unique expression patterns of cell death genes of LSC. By integrating PCD- and LSC-related genes, we identified eight LSC death genes with prognostic values: OAZ1, S100A4, MPG, IL2RA, MMRN1, CDK6, HOXA9, and XIRP2. Based on these genes, we developed a leukemia stem cell prognostic death score (LSCD) and a prognostic nomogram. Our findings revealed that LSC, particularly Quiescent LSPC, exhibits a high LSCD score. AML patients with high LSCD score group showed characteristics of significant immune dysfunction and worse prognosis. Additionally, predictions regarding FDA-approved drugs indicated that the high LSCD score group is less sensitive to Venetoclax but more sensitive to Crenolanib, Tandutinib, or Midostaurin. In summary, we developed an LSCD model that shows the predictive potential of clinical prognosis and drug sensitivity. This model provides meaningful insights for personalized treatment of AML patients.
