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

abstractThe role of inflammation in regulating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and stressed hematopoiesis is significant, although the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we found that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) had dysregulated expression of the inflammatory cytokine S100A8 in AML. Upregulating S100A8 in MSCs increased the proliferation of AML cells in vitro. In contrast, removing S100A8 from MSCs in the murine MLL-AF9 AML model resulted in longer survival and less infiltration of leukemia cells. S100A8 binds to the Toll-like receptor 4 on leukemia cells, activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. In addition, removing S100A8 from MSCs caused a temporary decline in hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) numbers, but facilitated long-term hematopoietic recovery under stress. Furthermore, S100A8 inhibited MSC differentiation into osteoblasts and reduced the expression of osteopontin, which is required for supporting HSCs. Our findings highlight the importance of niche inflammation in promoting AML development while impeding hematopoietic regeneration.
