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

This study investigated the prognostic significance of m6A-related programmed cell death (PCD) genes in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Transcriptomic data from the TCGA-ALL and GSE48558 datasets were analyzed to identify m6A-related PCD genes (corgenes), which were then intersected with 3,063 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), resulting in 23 candidate genes. Univariate Cox regression and LASSO regression analyses identified CFLAR and CDK4 as key prognostic genes, facilitating the construction of a high-accuracy risk prediction model. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed significant pathway differences between the high-risk group (HRG) and the low-risk group (LRG), including olfactory transduction, circadian rhythm, and protein export (adj.P < 0.05). Sensitivity analysis of 60 chemotherapy agents indicated that Bicalutamide was more effective in LRG, while ATRA, CCT018159, PHA-665752, and PLX4720 demonstrated greater efficacy in HRG. RT-qPCR validation confirmed upregulation of CDK4 and downregulation of CFLAR in ALL samples (P < 0.05). This study offers important theoretical support for the prognostic evaluation and personalized treatment strategies in ALL.
