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

Immune evasion mechanisms in paediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) hinder the efficacy of immunotherapies. Epitranscriptomic regulators such as m6A readers may modulate immune landscapes in B-ALL, but their roles remain poorly defined. Transcriptomic analysis of paediatric B-ALL samples highlighted YTHDF1 and ALYREF as co-upregulated candidates. Functional studies in YTHDF1-silenced B-ALL cells assessed ALYREF mRNA stability, PD-L1 expression, and migratory capacity. NSG xenograft models were used to investigate immune cell infiltration profiles. YTHDF1 enhanced ALYREF mRNA stability via binding to m6A-modified transcripts, promoting downstream PD-L1 expression. Knockdown of YTHDF1 led to significant reductions in ALYREF (60%) and PD-L1, accompanied by a 50% reduction in cell migration. Notably, CD8 + T cell infiltration in xenografts increased 2.5-fold, indicating improved tumor immunogenicity. The YTHDF1–ALYREF–PD-L1 axis represents a novel immune evasion mechanism in B-ALL. Therapeutic disruption of this pathway may restore T cell-mediated cytotoxicity and enhance the efficacy of existing immunotherapies.
