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

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disorder marked by irregular expansion and maturation, giving rise to the aggregation of immature myeloid precursor cells. Although most patients achieve remission with initial treatment, the majority of relapses lead to poorer overall survival. The bone marrow (BM) immune microenvironment has been proven to significantly affect the progression of AML. However, the mechanisms that cause the imbalance of immune cell subsets and phenotypes remain partially obscure. Therefore, this research sought to explore the immune-regulatory genes and to determine their role in AML. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained through differential analysis of the AML cohort. Enrichment analyses were applied to explore their biological functions. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify the key module of AML. ROC curve analysis was performed to identify hub genes with good predictive power. CIBERSORT and the ESTIMATE algorithm were used to assess the correlation between hub genes and the immune microenvironment of AML. The impact of hub gene expression on the prognosis of AML was verified through prognostic traits and clinical samples. Results: Through differential analysis and WGCNA, seven genes were identified as markedly related to the development of AML. By mapping ROC curves, three hub genes were verified: CCR7, SLC16A6, and MS4A1, which have high diagnostic value for AML. Additionally, an imbalanced immune microenvironment was found to be common in AML. Three hub genes were significantly associated with immune components, including immune cells and immunomodulatory factors. Ultimately, through the validation of clinical samples and the analysis of prognostic characteristics, three genes were confirmed to be reduced in AML patients, and their high expression suggested a favorable prognosis. Conclusion: Our study identified and validated the efficacy of SLC16A6, CCR7, and MS4A1 as tumor suppressors implicated in AML progression and related to immune cell infiltration.
