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

Despite recent advances, treatment outcomes for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) remain poor. Although patients often exhibit an initial favourable response to chemotherapy, with substantial clearance of tumour cells, most patients eventually relapse. This indicates the persistence of a chemoresistant ALL subpopulation capable of driving disease regeneration. Growing evidence implicates interactions between leukaemia cells and the bone marrow (BM) niche in this process. Our findings show that BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and adipocytes (BMAds) promote chemotherapy resistance in ALL cells via activation of the wingless-related integration site (WNT) signalling pathway. Chemotherapy-treated co-cultures of MSCs/BMAds and ALL cells exhibited upregulation of several WNT ligands in the stromal compartment. Notably, pharmacological inhibition of WNT signalling abrogated the stromal-mediated chemoprotection and enhanced ALL cell apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, WNT inhibition in a p185
