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

The research on cytokine or growth factor (GF) release by leukaemic blasts is a largely unexplored area. This study aimed to evaluate the differential secretory potential of paediatric B-cell precursor and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (BCP-ALL and T-ALL, respectively) and acute myeloid leukaemia cells (AMLs) for selected GFs, both basally and upon stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate with ionophore A23187 (PMA + I). The concentrations of five GFs: granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the supernatants were measured using the Bio-Plex multiplex immunoassay. AML blasts showed the highest basal concentrations of G-CSF, GM-CSF, and VEGF. PHA and LPS stimulation non-selectively enhanced the secretion of G-CSF, GM-CSF, VEGF, and PDGF in BCP-ALL and AML blasts. PMA + I was the strongest GF release inducer, particularly for BCP-ALL and T-ALL blasts, with the latter also showing higher responsiveness to PHA and LPS. Our findings reveal differential, leukaemia-type dependent GF secretion patterns. Lineage-specific responses may be exploitable for targeted therapeutic approaches for distinct AL types. This study is the first to comprehensively assess the extracellular secretion of multiple GFs by paediatric AL cells in cultures using a Bio-Plex multiplex immunoassay.
