Prognostic value of BTG1 for predicting decitabine sensitivity in
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Decitabine has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), though therapeutic responses vary widely due to the disease's inherent heterogeneity. To address this clinical challenge, we aimed to identify reliable biomarkers for predicting decitabine responsiveness in patients with AML. In our previous studies, integrated epigenetic and transcriptomic profiling identified BTG1 as a methylation-associated tumor suppressor gene correlated with decitabine sensitivity. We found that decitabine upregulates BTG1 expression through demethylation, and this upregulation enhances the sensitivity of AML cells to decitabine. BTG1 may exert its effect through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Notably, BTG1 expression levels were significantly associated with treatment outcomes, including complete remission (CR) rates and measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity in patients receiving decitabine-containing regimens (either "7 + 3" or alternative combinations). Importantly, peripheral blood BTG1 mRNA expression levels reliably predicted therapeutic response to decitabine, establishing BTG1 as a robust biomarker of decitabine efficacy in AML management. Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2000037928.
