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: Tumor cells compete with T cells for methionine by overexpressing SLC43A2 (solute carrier family 43 member 2), leading to T cell exhaustion. However, the correlation between SLC43A2 and immune infiltration or malignant features in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has rarely been explored. Methods: We obtained gene expression data and clinical information from 173 AML patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Statistical analyses were performed using R (v4.0.5). Differential expression, immune infiltration, functional enrichment, and survival analyses were conducted using online databases, including GEPIA, GSCA Lite, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, KEGG, and TIMER2. Results: SLC43A2 was highly expressed in AML and associated with poorer survival. Enrichment analysis revealed that SLC43A2 is involved in lymphocyte activation, leukocyte adhesion, and immune response regulatory signaling pathways. Immune infiltration results showed that SLC43A2 positively correlated with immune exhaustion markers (all p < 0.05) and negatively correlated with CD8+ T, NK, and B cell infiltration (all p < 0.05). We constructed an SPI1-hsa-miR-31-5p-SLC43A2 transcriptional network to support the role of SLC43A2. Conclusion: The SLC43A2 gene may serve as a diagnostic, prognostic, and potential immune-related biomarker for AML patients. Blocking SLC43A2-associated signaling pathways could provide novel insights into immunotherapy for AML.
